The Sound of the Summer

Unless you have been living in a cave I am sure you will have heard Daft Punk, non stop. Without doubt we will be force fed the album throughout the summer but if you happen to be looking for something to remind you of the sunshine isle, Jamaica, then have a listen to the latest offering from The Skints.

The band, made up with Marcia Richards, Jonathan Doyle, Joshua Waters Rudge and Jamie Kyriakides hail from Londons East End and produce a Ska/Reggae/Dub hybrid that can chase away even the darkest of clouds.

The second album, Part & Parcel,  was released about a year ago and after tours across the UK The Skints are really starting to find an audience that is ready for a good UK Reggae band.

If you get the opportunity I would strongly recommend seeing them live, the diversity and infectious beat will keep you coming back to this album and if the great British summer ever sees fit to raise it's head what better soundtrack to have than this.
