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.
I was lucky enough to be in the audience of Bombskare's St Patrick's Night concert in Dundee this past year and can happily confirm that, wonderful as they sound in studio recordings they are so much better live. They played this cover live for the first time that night and gave me sore feet from all the jigging- I'm too old for all that now!
Bugger. That YouTube link didn't work. It was a cover of "Fiesta" by the Pogues, you can look it up yourself if you want to. I think I'll try to restart the Luddite movement, technology hates me.
