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.
