Sunday Night is Ladies' Night...

Rich's Reggae (and Stuff) this week is all about celebrating the Women of Reggae. Reggae is often seen as a male-oriented, male-dominated music genre; a bit like Heavy Metal, except the music isn't shit*. Rich is going to attempt to dispel that view this week with an hour of the sweetest reggae sung by the fairer sex. The only male voice you'll here is Rich's... and he's promised to keep his blather to a minimum and let the music do the talking. 

8pm UK time on Sunday evening, expect wonderful stuff like this... **

* I have been asked to point out that not everyone at Fusion thinks Heavy Metal is shit.
** But not those particular three - that would be giving away the playlist!

Band Of The Month

We  would like to introduce you to our Band Of The Month. Every month the DJ’s of Fusion choose a new or unsigned band or artist and give them airplay and a special at our blog. Our first Band of the Month February is BOMBSKARE. It’s a 9-man ska band from Scotland. Their trademark is (in their own words) breakneck ska rhythms and lush, threepart harmonies together with choppy guitar sounds and an explosive horn section that truly blow the audience away. Who's ever seen this band knows what that mean. Party time! In 2011 Irie Up Magazine wrote: 'Imagine The Beat (that's the English Beat for US readers) with a Scottish accent and you begin to get some idea of just how good this band is.” It looks like 2013 is going to be a great year for Bombskare. They are invited to play the London International Ska Festival in March and they just released a new single this week. ‘Do All Dogs Go To Heaven?’ is the first track released from their forthcoming album ‘The Day The Earth Stood Stupid’. The new single will be played at our Launch Party this sunday and is available as a free download on their website http://www.bombskare.com. When they are in your town, check them out! You won’t be disappointed.
