The Expanders began playing reggae music together in the summer of 2003,

and today are one of the hardest working reggae bands in Southern California.

They have come to be known for their vintage style of reggae, played in the

tradition of classic 1970’s Jamaican groups like The Ethiopians, The Gladiators

and The Mighty Diamonds.

Their music is centered in three-part vocal harmonies and strong song writing,

with lyrics that range from socially heavy to playful and upbeat.
