Equal Rites is a group based out of the New England area led by Lon E. Plynton who apparently has been around and payed his dues. They refer to their style as "Afro-Caribbean". It has some reggae influences but it is also ripe with the calypso sound mostly due to the steel drum playing of Macki Burnett. Some parts are over the top and sound like Vegas music but before you get the wrong impression one can not help but admire the musicianship that is portrayed. I think the thing that is used to much is the programmed synth sounds. They add a bit of an artificial sound to the music. The songs themselves are quite original though. Be sure to hear the track "On The Street". A group to watch for though.
