Legacy Outernational are a UK based reggae rock band with a distinctive crossover sound inspired by reggae's golden era and fashioned in the deeper shadows of London's concrete jungle. 

Their debut album 'Outsanity' heralds an overdue return to conscious reggae vibes in Britain. 

"There are youths out there today who don't even know that real music once existed." -  Reggae Gad. 

Multi-instrumentalist Craig Shaw, also of The Excellos, established the Purple Patch studio and record label in Bristol after witnessing first-hand the systematic gentrification of London's once thriving music scene. 

"Tin Pan Alley will be next, mark my words."  - Craig Shaw 

Craig's spiralling guitar riffs and Reggae Gad's layered vocals set Legacy Outernational apart. 
They say it as they see it. You'll know it when you hear it, and you'll wake up the next morning humming it. 

In a time of universal deceit, ramming the dancefloor is a revolutionary act
