The ideology behind nucleus roots was to create a studio resource for the abundant and obvious talent already existing in Manchester. The studio focused on reggae, as the studio grew, so did the catalogue of artists, arrangements and songs. The nucleus roots studio then created a platform for the artists in the form of the ''nucleus roots band'' The Band was established in 1996 from the ashes of Manchester's highly acclaimed punky reggae band, Community Charge. In the early days nucleus roots was a ten piece reggae band featuring some of the most respected musicians playing on the Uk circuit. Nucleus Roots have evolved musically, productively and in stature. Having released four classic reggae albums they have become recognised for their unique and authentic roots productions which has led them to musical collaborations with leading reggae artists both as home and abroad such as: Twinkle Brothers, Misty in Roots, Dub Syndicate, The Natura-ites, Desmond Dekker, Jah Shaka, Aba Shanti and Fredlocks to name but a few
