No matter where you live, it's clear that summer is upon us and the music scene is in full swing. Santa Cruz’s, The Expendables, decided to participate in the sizzling “summer release” program with their newest addition, “Pleasure Point” via Ineffable Records.

Start your day by jamming to “Yearn to Burn” by The Expendables’ Geoff Weers and Kash’d Out. Any time I listen to The Expendables, I cannot help but smile because Weers always shares the good vibes and I love this fun collaboration with Kash’d Out’s Greg Shields. From California to Florida, The Expendables and Kash’d Out bring us so much meditation and peace!

Santa Cruz has honored reggae rock legends, The Expendables, naming September 30 “Expendables Day”! The band said in a Facebook post, “Honored to say that Sept. 30th is officially Expendables Day! We love you Santa Cruz, thank you for all your support since we started the band and for this amazing honor.”

On the coast of California south of San Francisco and north of Cali Roots location Monterey lies the beach town of Santa Cruz. The community has become well known for both its surf and stoner culture, both of which heavily influence the music coming out of the city. The legendary band The Expendables have been the global ambassadors for Santa Cruz's reggae/ska sound for the past couple of decades, finding a home in speakers of reggae fans around the world with their unique blend of reggae, ska, punk, and heavy Iron Maiden inspired guitar riffs. As we move into the year 2022 it is the talented and creative band Pacific Roots that is now making a name for themselves as the next Santa Cruz group to bring this brand of music to the reggae masses. The band has grown over the past few years from roots planted deep in the Northern California soil, and with their brand new album have made it known they are "Still Standing" taller than ever.

Pacific Roots is hitting the road this January for the band’s Still Standing tour. The Santa Cruz, California-based reggae-rock band will play 12 cities spanning Oregon, Washington, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico. Pacific Roots brings such irie vibes to every show they play, and we love rocking out to their music.

This week, Nattali Rize posted on her Instagram about an exciting secret show she is planning to co-host in Santa Cruz, California. So cool! Rize said in the post, “Santa Cruz CA!!! We are co-hosting a very special evening in a secret outdoor garden location.” We love the creativity and it would be so cool to see Nattali play at a secret venue!
