"Nothing to say about Re-Up except that they’re way ahead of us!"

-George Massenburg



"It's very rare that I see a young band with such a unique voice."

-Captain Kirk (The Roots)



Re-Up has proven to be a truly unique voice in the music world. Playing together since 2007, the members of Re-Up united while attending the Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. There, they were quickly drafted by Berklee's student run record label Heavy Rotation Records. Many high profile visiting artists became fast fans including George Massenburg, Andrew Dawson, Don Waas, and Linda Ronstadt Before long the band had gained a strong following in the Boston and New England area and were packing clubs like The Middle East and Harpers Ferry. In 2008 Re-Up hit the road and didn't look back. Since then they’ve been playing clubs, colleges and festivals across the US. Re-Up has performed alongside acts including The Roots, Big Boi (of Outkast), Gym Class Heroes, Strangefolk, The Ryan Montbleau Band and more.



This 8 piece band includes a horn section, DJ, electric guitar and is fronted by a tantalizing vocalist that goes by the name of Spliff. Spliff, has been compared to Citizen Cope, Spearhead, Eminem, James Brown and Tom Waits, but no one can fully categorize the MC's unique voice and presence. The band's influences range from old school soul to hip-hop, jazz to rock and beyond, but the music Re-Up creates is a style all their own.
