about

In springtime 2005 seven boys climbed up a stage in their hometown Dresden for the first time in this formation and great party was right about to start. Since that day the boys started a blazin' fire in numerous clubs all over germany. By playing a soulful 60's reggae music freshed up with some driving ska tunes and crowned by a punky energetic live show they put a spell on every single guest of their shows. One year after having formed the group the boys recorded 2 songs in their small rehearsal room which you can listen to in the player above. "This Night Is Yours" - a real ska tune and "Mama Earth" - an older track which they've already played in their former band. In the days of august 2007 the band is about to visit a recording studio in cologne and record some brandnew material which will presumably be released in the end of 2007.

# Why This Album Merits Attention This ensemble's work captures something genuinely curious: a deliberate collision between 1960s reggae's contemplative soul and ska's propulsive energy, filtered through punk's raw vitality. Rather than treating these influences as separate gestures, they're woven into a coherent sensibility—one that suggests a genuine creative inquiry into how different post-colonial musical traditions might speak to one another. Recorded in a rehearsal room just a year after formation, the album has an immediacy that reflects the band's live intensity without sacrificing compositional thought. For listeners interested in how regional European bands navigate international musical genealogies, or simply seeking music that balances thoughtful
