It seems you aren't familiar with the likes of The Herbs, Katchafire and The Black Keys that have been hugely popular not to mention the huge amount of lesser known bands around now and since the 80s. Reggae has a huge following in New Zealand.

Yes I am familiar with those bands. And many many more.

But honestly. Our music scene at this point in time, Consists of Rap/Rock/Emo And Pop.

The only "Reggae" band doing anything at the moment are Fat Freddie's Drop, and they're not really Reggae.

So yes. I do know what I'm talking about.

From what you just posted i'd be inclined to think you don't.

You can be inclined to think whatever you like.

But the simple fact remains is that, in comparison, New Zealand's music scene is Pre-Historic...and the soon-to-be-screened M.T.V wont help it at all.

K? Glad we agree.

England is definitely up there....having spent a bit of time in Brighton, it seemed like there was a reggae/dub/ska band playing every single night, if you cared to go. Although it seems to have an awesome music scene for any genre, really.

In the part of Canada I hail from--B.C, and the kootenays in paricular--reggae and the like are really, really popular, but it could be an isolated thing.
