THE BLACK SEEDS is a 100% pure New-Zealand product: a Wellington-based 7 piece-band producing an original blend of Soul, Funk, Reggae and Dub that got their home-country grooving around for about 10 years. They carved out their reputation on the sunny side of the globe on the strength of 2 studio albums Keep on Pushing (2001) and On The Sun (2003).

Sometimes Enough is the first single of Into the Dojo in New-Zealand and one of the finest tracks of THE BLACK SEEDS, where the drums and guitars jumping grooves contrast perfectly with the light voice of singer Barnaby Weir. It will make your heart „ready to unfold“. The second excerpt of their forthcoming album called Way The World is a moody ballad in a dub-reggae „no-comply“ style that feels like a sunny sunday afternoon. On the flipside THE BLACK SEEDS present a sensational Afro-beat to make us dance to the tune Senegal Champions Of Africa and reveal the poppy side of their music with So True without losing their authentic pacifican dub-touch with tight drumming sections and light trumpet melodies.
