There are at least two artists that have used this name:
1. A roots reggae band from Jamaica
2. A straight edge metalcore band from Florida, US
1. Culture was a Jamaican roots reggae group founded in 1976. Originally they were known as the African Disciples.
The members of the trio were Joseph Hill (lead vocals), Albert Walker (backing vocals) and Kenneth Dayes (backing vocals).
Shortly after Culture came together, they began working with the “Mighty Two” – producer Joe Gibbs and engineer Errol Thompson. While at Gibbs’ studio, they recorded a series of powerful singles, many of which ended up on their debut album ‘Two Sevens Clash’. After their success with Gibbs, the group went on to make a string of albums for producer Sonia Pottinger. Culture began working with some of the premier musicians of the day including Robbie Shakespeare, Sly Dunbar, Ansel Collins, Cedric Brooks and the ever-present percussionist Sticky. Virgin Records picked up the albums, and that added distribution enabled Culture to gain an even larger following outside of Jamaica.
Critically considered one of the most authentic traditional reggae acts, at the time of the first Rolling Stone Record Guide publication, they were the only band of any genre whose every recording received a five-star review (of bands with more than one recording in the guide).

Culture the reggae band are iconic, trailblazing, passionate and superbly delivered roots reggae. As for the other band—oh please. Hardcore ceases to be of any interest to a discerning listener when it adopts such idiotic labels as straight edge and vegan, and becomes the sole solace of sad, spotty-faced wankers who couldn't get laid in Rio during the carnival and are too chickenshit to do drugs :) . . . as if using TEH CAPS made the definition any more meaningful or less ridiculous. Di ital Culture dem a rawk supremely in the name of Jah. De rest are the deluded minions of Babylonia. Marcus a prophesy fyah bun dem! [2]
