Na’an Stop-CD Review
by Tim Wenger
Where else would a band called Na’an Stop be from, but Boulder? The five-piece drops songs that are reminiscent of their classic reggae forefathers, but what really stands out about these guys (that often goes unnoticed in the reggae world) is the guitar. The upstrokes are very prominent throughout the record. Not necessarily pushing the envelope musically, but the guitar work is solid and provides backbone for the songs.
The opening song “Support” is very up-tempo, almost sounding like two-tone ska at times. They feature horns on “The Cheese,” giving some more of that ska feel. They demonstrate their ability to slow it down and go more traditional on “One Question.”
Na’an Stop has a great sound, very energetic, and could easily become the next big force to be reckoned with in Colorado’s reggae scene.
