Right from the first chord, you can tell The Expendables has put everything it possibly can into its latest release. Just as it does on stage every night, the band is out to Prove It with songs and an energy that is impossible to ignore.

Unlike some other bands active in the reggae rock scene today The Expendables, is not a one sound band, and anyone familiar with the group knows you can expect a wild and exciting mix of reggae, punk, metal and dub. The 17 tracks across Prove It further celebrate the band’s diversity with reggae gems like Get What I Need and the sweet I Ain’t Ready, yet punk rock anthems like Trying To Focus and Night Mission showcase an energetic unstoppable rock force like not other.    

However, The Expendables save the best for last with the five minute instrumental metal mayhem of D.C.B. (I think this is the song the band was using Rock Band as a working title, so that give you an idea of what to expect here) before transitioning into the fantastic Mind Control. Following is Wells, possibly the most beautiful song the band has penned to date. Even G Love with his damned harmonica and out of place guest appearance can't ruin it.
