The group has released five full-length studio albums to date. History Formation (2009) The Green formed on Oahu, Hawaii in 2009. What makes this band unique is having four lead singers. The core-four singer/songwriters came together first with the band's frontman Caleb Keolanui and guitarist J.P. Kennedy who are first cousins and played together in a band named Next Generation. Along came the other two core singers, guitarist Zion Thompson and keyboardist Ikaika Antone who had been in a band called Stir Crazy. When their band split up, the pair came together with the cousins, and all missing their home of Hawaii, formed The Green. Kennedy explains the band name, "We wanted a name that didn't really point you in any direction. It's just a color, it makes you figure out what you want it to mean." Then they added songwriter Brad Watanabe on bass and producer Leslie Ludiazo on drums. With four distinct voices with the ability of four separate songwriting talents, and musicianship of "pop-burnished roots reggae style" that they cooked up, The Green quickly became a popular local band on the island. Self-Titled Album (2010) The band released their self-titled debut album The Green on February 2, 2010. The album's single, "Love I" was the band's breakthrough single on Hawaiian radio, and set a Billboard Reggae Chart record by remaining on the chart for 69 straight weeks. The album was also named iTunes Best Reggae Album of 2010 and finished the year as the #9 album on the 2010 Billboard's Year End Reggae Chart alongside artists Rebelution, Matisyahu and Bob Marley. Love & Affection, Ways & Means (2011) On August 9, 2011, The Green released an EP titled Love & Affection. The EP quickly secured the #1 spot on the iTunes Reggae chart, passing Bob Marley, Shaggy and other heavy hitters along the way. The EP featured four tracks to be later seen on their sophomore album Ways & Means. On October 25, 2011, The Green's second album Ways & Means was released and spent four weeks
