Background
Rhythm Collision Sound started up as a group of friends with a love of all styles of reggae music from dancehall to dub through to conscious roots and rocksteady but with very limited options to go out to venues that catered for this style. Such is the lack of interest, inspiration and knowledge shown by mainstream Brisbane or "Babylon" in reggae music that we decided as is the case with a lot of things in Brisbane if you want to do something you really have to do it yourself, so Rhythm Collision Sound began.......
