About Aswad
Aswad are one of the most influential reggae bands to come out of England, and their blend of roots reggae, dub, pop, and R&B elements blazed a trail that countless artists would follow.
They first got together in Ladbroke Grove, London, in 1974, and released their self-titled debut album two years later with Brinsley “Dan” Forde (vocals, guitar), George Oban (bass), Angus “Drummie Zeb” Gaye (vocals, drums), Courtney Hemmings (keyboards), and Donald Griffiths (guitar, vocals).
Soon Hemmings left and Oban was replaced by Tony “Gad” Robinson.
