“Classic British songwriting meets the classic sounds of Jamaica”
Take proper old school dirty Reggae inspired by King Tubby & Studio One and mix it with classic British song writing from the school of Billy Bragg and Ian Dury and you’ve got something truly unique.
Multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Ed Rome has been plying his trade over the years with countless live sessions for the likes of Lee Perry, The Beat and members of The Specials. His song writing has enabled Ska Band ‘The Big’ to become a key feature on the underground Ska/Reggae scene, taking him all over the world.
Now Ed Rome is venturing out on his own with a superb debut album, ‘A Life In Minutes’. This soon to be ‘classic’ is crammed with heavyweight rhythms, dirty organ, innovative guitar, Jamaican horns all topped with Ed’s unique growling vocals and everyday tales.
Debut album ‘Ed Rome - A Life In Minutes’ is out in August on Rockers Revolt (dist.by Universal)
‘Quality Old School’ Neville Staple (The Specials)
‘astoundingly good’ and ‘hypnotic’ (Do The Dog Skazine)
