Skatroniks

Skatroniks

Once upon a time - there was a great band called Jazz Jamaica. They

liked to play the hits of the Ska era - with great style and fashion.

During the nineties this band were seen by many reggae fans, many

times - everytime they gave a great set. Even when confronted with

thunder and lighting - they just played on - I can't recall Bigga

shouting outJah Rastafari - but I am sure he did!! On the album front

it was good as well - the debut Jazz Jamaica is an excellent work.

Likewise 'Double Barrel'. Then it all came to an end. It was sad. Now

we have the debut the album of Skatroniks! And what a set it is. Some

of Jazz Jamaica is still here. In fact a good portion of it. What is

different about Skatroniks to Jazz Jamaica - attitude. I don't think

Jazz Jamaica would have made a steppers tune - 'Steppas' - they might

have made a Salsa tune mixing in some ska - 'Skalsa'. They might have

done a tune like 'Diurnal & Nocturnal' a swing time thing that owes a

lot to another great band Now Generation. They would not have a done

called 'Frenemy'! This a great album. For lovers of reggae and beyond.

Its presented in a digipak which looks great! And when they play these

tunes live - they will sound exactly the same if not better! Something

to look forward too!!! Did I hear you say Forward!!!!
