Hailing from Sydney, THE STRIDES have become a new force for Urban Roots music. Fronted by Reggae master Ras Roni from Barbados via London, and Fijian MC Ltl Gzeus, The Strides have delivered their classic sound to crowds across the country, delivering a musical experience that is as powerfully explosive as it is authentic.
With two acclaimed albums already under their belt, a European label signing, festival appearances across the country and having graced the stage with the likes of Julian Marley, Tony Allen and Groundation, The Strides’ music faithfully builds on the foundations of classic roots Reggae with a HipHop/Dance Hall edge.
With the calling card of powerfully melodic horns, infectious bass lines and the magnetic stage presence between the two lead vocalists, The Strides are an 8-piece collective of multi-talented songwriters and musicians.
