"The Babylon
Warriors, a reggae band with Belizean members has a unique sound and a
forceful presence; the music of these gents is at once soulful, gustsy and melodically memorable. They are true
and impressive exponents of reggae music born in the Caribbean that you
can't hear without being affected.

"The Babylon
Warriors take their snake-like rhythms and impassioned vocals to the Sunset
Strip. They have earned a place at the frontline of the reggae troops.

John Sutton Smith 'LA. Weekly

"As their name
intimates, the Warriors serve up a very tasty brew of reggae. Sweet
pop melodies are anchored by a smooth yet pulsating rhythm section that
defies you not to dance. The uptempo energy
fuels "Are You Feeling Alright?" like high octane in a sports
car. The Warriors music doesn't roar; it
purrs.
"Jeff Silberman 'Music Connection"

"One of the last
opportunities for a full scale outdoor garden concert at the Comeback Inn. in Venice, CA. in 1980, The Babylon Warriors held
reign over a happy throng of fans and passengers by . With a peaked
capacity, fans were standing outside on the side walk and street
peering."
James C. Hovey 'Overtones' published by the Comeback Inn

"The Babylon Warriors
began in 1978 in Los Angeles. They now enjoyed the status of being L.A.'s
first and longest standing reggae band.
