Brownman Revival is a Filipino reggae band founded in November 1994. They count Bob Marley, Big Mountain, Aswad, Inner Circle, and UB40 among their musical influences[2] as well as Filipino reggae group Tropical Depression and OPM acts such as Eraserheads, Apo Hiking Society, and VST & Company. One author describes Brownman Revival's music as "reggae-inspired beats with traditional folk pop rhythms and the basest of lyrical themes".[3]
