Front man rebel charm and forthright Dub-Rock-Sound make J-san & the Analogue Sons a life-force that evokes the integrity of Bob Marley and the earthy soul of Fat Freddies Drop or Toots & the Maytals but with a whiff of something from the dub locker at King Tubby's. With the JATAS sound, one is able to quite literally "feel" the song, harkening us back to the timeless soul of the seventies...when music was still made one stone at a time.
With 3 full length albums on I-Town Records, and ENTAK Records: "Self Titled," "Sound Resistance," and their extraordinary third record "One Sound," these dub-rock-warriors are sharing their music with the world as they push forward into the ever-changing 21st century by continuing their relentless tour regiment supported by their consistent growing fan base; enjoying touring in Japan and Europe as well as here in the US.
J-san's incredibly earthy vocals are reminiscent of the great soul singers of any era, deftly moving from love songs dripping with emotion and punky reggae party anthems, to fiery protest songs that make even the hardest man send a fist up to the air in love. JATAS live show's consist of a full 6 piece ensemble version as well as a sound system (live dub) version that includes innovative modern sounds and a decidedly urban flavor that make the dance floor tremble and sway every night. The typical live show is a genre bending blend of high-grade reggae-dub, rock, electronic and roots soul. Innovative modern sounds with a decidedly retro flavor plus rootical vocal harmony. JATAS is coming to town...ring the alarm this is ultra.
