Reggae band Boil Up were Gary Clarkson (rhythm guitar, vocals), Brian McMillan (lead guitar), Eric McLeod (bass), Mark Kington (sax) and Stu Armstrong (drums). They are considered by some to be the band that lead to the revival of roots music in the 2000's. Mark Kington was formerly a staple member of King Biscuit; Stu Armstrong was also of Bwa da Riddim. Brian McMillan went on to form Cornerstone Roots.
