Coming Soon on Rockers Revolt
We are delighted to announce our next two releases will be; No.1 Station and Ed Rome.
NO.1 STATION - BOSS BEAT (RRHITCD6) - Out in September’08
Described by Mark Lamaar (BBC Radio 2) as “the UK’s premiere Ska band” No.1 Station are the vanguards of a new generation of Blue Beat. Playing a scorching blend of authentic Ska, Rocksteady and Reggae in the way it was originally intended. They’ve been single-handedly responsible for the resurgence of the seminal Blue Beat record label and have released half a dozen internationally acclaimed singles on the imprint. The first band to do so in decades.
Rockers Revolt are delighted to be releasing their next album. 15 scorching tracks swaying from authentic sound of ska to old school dancehall, from the sweetest harmony filled rocksteady to roots inspired dancefloor fillers. It features so wonderful guest vocalists and mcs and the legendary Tan Tan on trumpet (famed for his work with Georgie Fame, Rico, Ska Cubano and more). The album is produced by No.1 Station frontman/chief songwriter Sir Marcus Downbeat (one time member of Lee Perry’s Upsetters).
This will be followed by…
ED ROME - A LIFE IN MINUTES (RRHITCD7) - Out in October’08
“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.
Ed is on tour with NYC creators of Dub Side of the Moon, the Easy Star All-stars in October 2008.
