Formed in 2001 in Rochester\, New York\, GPGDS first received praise for their live show\, which combined world beats and reggae rhythms within jamband aesthetics. In recent years the band&rsquo\;s studio recordings\, which showcase their songwriting and musicianship across all genres of roots music\, have further cemented their legend as master innovators and artists.
\n\n&ldquo\;There is a lot of intention in this release. We had a purpose to prove to ourselves recording this album [MAKE IT BETTER]. We wanted to know that we could put our heads down and do good work fast. It was a great release artistically. It uniquely sounds the most progressive of anything we have ever done while also sounding the most like our first album.&rdquo\; -James Searl\, Bassist/Vocalist
\n\nGiant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad&rsquo\;s sixth studio album MAKE IT BETTER was released in September of 2016 on Rootfire Cooperative. It debuted at #1 on the Billboard Reggae Chart.Band Members
