Reggae innovators Easy Star All-Stars are offering a free download taken from their brand new album First Light and announce a headline show at The Garage in London on June 16th. Released in the UK on 30th May, First Light is the first album of original material the band have released after three highly acclaimed reggae covers album. Dub Side of The Moon, a cover of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of The Moon, was followed by Radiodread and Easy Star’s Lonely Hearts Dub Band.

A firm live favourite here in the UK Easy Star All-Stars, as well as the headline show in London, are playing a handful of festivals over the summer including Camp Bestival and Willowman Festival. The band was nominated for a UK Festival Award for its three-day, three-stage performance at Glastonbury 2009.

The free download, Don’t Stop The Music, is a buoyant and breezy modern reggae anthem featuring Easy Star All-Stars vocalist Menny More. Building on their love of reggae traditions and the experience of playing hundreds of live shows together, First Light showcases the bands’ own song writing skills for the first time on record.
