“Every single second is a blessing if you count them all,” sings frontman Matthew Roads.You can hear the sincerity in his voice; the joie de vivre that oozes from everythingTropidelic does is apparent. When they take a stage, their synergy flows member tomember -–horns blow, knees kicked high and grins are passed from one man to the next.Almost immediately, it spreads to the crowd, lifting hands in the air as their feet begin tomove. The pulse collectively becomes that of one.The six-piece band fromCleveland, Ohio may be far from any tropical islands, but thatdoesn’t stop them from dishing out an interesting mix of reggae, hip-hop, and high energyfunk for audiences across the country. Unapologetically original, Tropidelic has a deep andwidespreadappreciation for music that can be heard in each note. Some of the membersare hip-hop heads, while others are into metal, funk or reggae.
