The Movement is an American reggae band originally formed in Columbia, South Carolina, in 2003. Their music is commonly described as a fusion of rock, reggae, hip-hop, and acoustic music.
In March 2004, they released their first studio album, On Your Feet. This “alternative reggae” album has proved a mainstay of the reggae/rock genre and is listed at #9 on The Pier’s 10 Essential Reggae Rock Albums.

The band continued to build their following with nonstop touring throughout the United States. They enjoyed success in opening for national acts such as Steel Pulse, Blues Traveler, Slightly Stoopid, The Wailers, Ludacris, G. Love & Special Sauce, Common, Long Beach Shortbus, The Wu Tang Clan, SOJA and 311.
On March 20, 2010, they released their third studio album, One More Night. This was the only album featuring Miller as the sole songwriter. It peaked at #1 on the Billboard reggae album chart.
In April 2016, the band’s next album, Golden, was released and topped the Billboard Reggae Albums chart. It reached #1 on iTunes, as well.
In 2021, The Movement was one of several reggae and punk bands on The House That Bradley Built, a charity compilation honoring Sublime’s lead singer Bradley Nowell, helping musicians with substance abuse. They covered Sublime’s song “Get Out!”
In July 2022, they released Always with Me, and it was “considered” for a Grammy Award nomination for “Best Reggae Album” at the 65th Grammy Awards in 2023.
Swain and Miller have assumed equal roles in leading the band as dual front men while showcasing their individual songwriting styles. They have cited artists of all genres, ranging from the Pixies to Sublime to Outkast to Norah Jones, as having influenced their own songwriting.
