Soul Rebel Project

SRP band members Mike Francis Jr., Jason Harris, John Funkhouser, Adam “Tugboat” Saylor, Geoff “Pilks” Pilkington, and Matty Trump add contour to the reggae music landscape with an alliance of consciousness, love, and mysticism.

Internationally renowned, the genre of reggae music is symbolic of emotions as consciousness, love, rebellion, justice, and mysticism. And taking cue from these deep subsets there are artists that present a singular narrative on one song to champion a movement. However, SRP brilliantly decided collectivity is the best way to mobilize positivity. And this rebellion against systematic procedures produces solid tracks in music and life as featured in “Pure Love,” and "King."

Though SRP evades the combat forum of popular culture, their work is respected. And their ability to keep the momentum of quality and insightful work deserves more recognition. Yet, this elusiveness also serves them well. When people pay attention, as they do to Rebelution, Collie Buddz, and Matisyahuis, it is solely about the music.

Of interest is SRP’s approach to developing the structure of a song. And the latest single, “Pure Love,” exemplifies the dynamism of their work. It is a clever composition of bass, guitars, vocals, and drums. Then, a mystical and melodic balance of harmonies that unites the tones of soul, rock, and reggae.

As well, the introductory keys on the single, “King,” is musical and cultural rebellion at its best. Matching the precedence of these arrangements are relevant and relatable lyrics. Yet, the lyrical and musical composition are comprehensively strong on their own. This is increasingly important, so, SRP is ahead of the competition.

Concerts are a lucrative market for distribution. Like attending a concert, both songs have the listener expecting the next track. No rush, no fuss to be anywhere else but chilling with SRP. And a dub version of “Pure Love” and “King” would have us embarking on a reggae odyssey.
