It has been often said that roots reggae has suffered a serious demise, almost to the point of extinction with the rise of dancehall. Pentateuch Band however, has emerged to shatter this myth, with the release of their first single Black Face.

This band of five young musicians from Kingston, has exploded on to the scene with their prolific reggae anthem, which has won them hosts of adoring fans, as well as tremendous respect from loyal reggae supporters, who have felt let down by the strong imbalance in the music coming out of the reggae capital, Jamaica.

The name Pentateuch is Greek and it represents the first five chapters of the bible, and was also chosen to symbolise its five members, Kevor 'Vor' Williams on lead vocals, Brady 'Jah Bradez' Robinson on drums, Andrew 'Worm' Ayre on bass, Andrade 'Dradi' Bowen on keyboards and Garth 'Duckie' Forester on guitar.

This spiritual and talented group was formed in 2009 in the halls of the Edna Manley College of the Performing Arts where they were all enrolled as students. The band made its debut at the Roots Underground, Dub Tonic Kru-promoted event billed 'Bands Incorporated' that same year, where the response to their music was overwhelming.

This positive feedback was largely attributed to their socially conscious lyrics, catchy melodic hooks, and a spectacular musical performance.

Pentateuch has become synonymous with giving their fans not only a great musical treat, but also for providing food for the soul with their incessant cry for universal love. They have built a strong underground following which keeps growing at every appearance.

Currently working on their first studio album with legendary hitmaker Paul 'Computer Paul' Henton, whose production skills have graced Jimmy Cliff's Billboard chart hit I Can See Clearly Now, and many others.

Computer Paul commented, "the first time I heard Black Face I was completely blown away, and started calling everyone in the business telling them of this amazing sounding band. I felt compelled to meet these musicians and congratulate them for producing such a positive song."

The world can look forward to a great album from Pentateuch, and from the indications of tracks produced so far, this debut album will no doubt be a resounding hit, and the catalyst to launch the international careers of this gifted and conscious reggae band.
