It goes without saying, and I have said it before anyway, that not every attempt to take a song from one distinct genre and mold it into a song for a different genre is successful.  Fortunately this is a case where it all worked out very well for the redux of this classic Bob Marley song.  

It starts off with a nice stylistic change, converting the well-known synth melody line to guitar and hitting a tone that sets the music in that alternative / punk space right away.  The bass provides some very cool buzz to that intro chorus.  Right as the first verse kicks in this track takes on a jumpy groove driven by a spirited drum section.  The vocals  are delivered with a pep that definitely brings some extra energy to the performance.   The band stays on that path for most of the song although there is a nice slip down into a brief reggae moment right after the two minute mark.   This song in its original classic version by Marley always left me with a “just chill out, it’s cool, you are going to be ok” feeling.  It always brightened up my mood.  Chaser’s version does a really great job of amping up that message to “Yes! You are totally going to be ok – we all got this!”  I enjoyed the heck out of listening and will be looking forward to the release of their two track EP Gonna Be Alright on May 29th.
