Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad (GPGDS) are on a mission to Make It Better. The new album from the Rochester, New York-based band addresses this theme, not just through music, but through art, conversation, and everyday living. Formed in 2001 in Rochester, NY, GPGDS first received praise for their live show, which combined world beats and reggae rhythms with an urgent energy and jamband dynamics. More recently the band’s diverse recordings have showcased their songwriting, musicianship, and ability to transcend genre.
