The Eternals, "Billions of People"

Reader’s Choice The Eternals

It’s not their stylish melange of burn-down-Babylon reggae, hardcore punk, and a globe-spanning collection of regional groove styles that makes the Eternals the best band in town. And it’s not the eloquent postmillennial urban paranoia of Damon Locks’s lyrics that does it either. It’s the near-mystical alchemy the trio performs to transmute all those elements into extremely bumpin’ revolutionary dance-floor fillers, because two of the best activities in human existence are hating on the ruling class and shaking your ass, and any opportunity to do both at the same time should be cherished.
