Everone knows black bands with exposure have been declining since the mid 80s. We can debate the reasons why that is true, but the charts/articles/videos speak for themselves.

If pressed, I would say Fishbone, the Roots, Living Colour, Tony Tone Toni, Mint Condition. I'd bet there are still reggae bands making noise but I'm too out of touch to know who they are.

If we included multi-racial acts I'd throw Incognito and Brand New Heavies in the mix.

Me'Shell and Kindred the Family Soul always have a tight band but their joints are solo releases.

I like BSTC, the Kevin Chandler Band, and Mambo Sauce but it seems they make one album then are ghost.
