The Movement ADD

The Movement has been winning the hearts and minds of alt-reggae fans since their inception in 2003. Drawing inspiration from Sublime, 311, Slightly Stoopid, and John Brown's Body, they've made a name for themselves as reggae shapeshifters with a foundation of insightful lyrics and heavy drum and bass. Today the band consists of founding member, lead vocalist and guitarist Joshua Swain, bassist Jason Schmidt, drummer Gary Jackson, keyboardist/multi-instrumentalist Matt Goodwin, and saxophonist/percussionist Kyle Jerome. 

Their seventh studio album, Ways Of The World (2019) debuted at #1 in the Billboard Reggae Chart, and remained in the Top 10 for more than 40 consecutive weeks. 

The band’s ninth studio album Visions – out July 18, 2025 on the band’s R4RE Records imprint – features collaborations with Stick Figure, The Elovaters, 311, Tribal Seeds, and The Green. With Visions, Swain charts a celestial and cerebral path through the cosmos, and straight into the consciousness, leaving a renewed sense of wonder and purpose. As always for The Movement, the only path is forward; pushing the boundaries and the future of alternative reggae.
