Lot 49 kicks off 2025 with a bang, unveiling their highly anticipated new single, “Under Pressure,” in collaboration with Greg Shields, frontman of the Florida-based reggae-rock outfit Kash’d Out. The track resonates with anyone who has ever counted down the hours of a 9-to-5, yearning for the weekend and that sweet moment of release. With Shields’s unmistakable vocals driving the message home, “Under Pressure” delivers a soulful hip-hop edge that blends seamlessly into Lot 49’s reggae-inspired R&B/indie pop foundation. Fans of reggae-rock will find this to be the anthem they’ve been waiting for—both instantly familiar and refreshingly new.
Alongside the single release, Lot 49 has announced a string of upcoming shows that promise to bring their high-energy performances to stages near and far. Catch the band on April 19 at Rocksteady Adventures, April 26 at the Friends Of Folsom Festival, and May 17 at Altamont Beer Works. Each performance is set to showcase the band’s unique sound—one that has been shaped by influences ranging from Cali Reggae pioneers like Iration, Rebelution, and Dirty Heads to pop-driven acts like Katastro and The Holdup.
Lot 49, hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area, has been steadily building their reputation since forming in 2018. They’ve released two full-length albums and numerous singles, gathering a dedicated audience and amassing thousands of Spotify listeners every month. The band’s commitment to innovation and genre-bending has landed them on stages alongside J Boog, The Expendables, HIRIE, Katastro, and more, further cementing their place in the ever-evolving reggae-rock scene.
Their latest partner in collaboration, Kash’d Out, has been on a similar upward trajectory since its inception. Fronted by Greg Shields and powered by the musical synergy of Jackson Hauserman (guitar), Joey Brohawn (bass), and Marshall Hearne (drums), the band caught the attention of Hawaiian favorites Pepper early on, propelling their first album, “The Hookup,” onto the Billboard Reggae Charts. Since then, Kash’d Out has shared the stage with genre heavyweights such as Collie Buddz, The Expendables, and Iration, along with making appearances at renowned festivals like Reggae Rise Up and California Roots.
“Under Pressure” is now available on all major streaming platforms.
