New Town Kings – Borderline
New Town Kings - Borderline |
Release Date: Out Now
Essex Reggae collective New Town Kings are bringing the
socio-political roots of ska back to the fore on new track ‘Borderline’. The twist
now, however, is that the refugee crisis, the frontiers and the fences are in the
faces of cosy Europeans, right in their back gardens in fact. Musically, the
skank is tight, the horns forlorn and the drums pop and bounce suitably but as
much as the music gets this in to your heads, it’s the message that’s more important
here. New Town Kings are not your average party Reggae band, these guys are
channelling the original spirit of Bob Marley and the British city vibe of the
Specials to create a fully rounded and impactful sound.
