About The Upsetters

Formed

Genre
Reggae
Producer Lee "Scratch" Perry's longtime house band, the Upsetters, appeared on some of the most legendary records in reggae history, including the early hits of the Wailers. Although the lineup was mercurial (essentially consisting of whoever was in the studio when the tape began to roll), among the key Jamaican musicians who passed through the Upsetters' ranks were siblings Aston and Carlton Barrett, Sly Dunbar, Glen Adams, Winston Wright, and Boris Gardiner. Despite scoring a handful of their own hits, including 1969's "Return of Django," the unit was best known as a support act, enjoying their greatest influence through the records they made during the late '60s and early '70s with the Wailers, including the seminal "Duppy Conqueror," "Small Axe," and "Soul Rebel."
