They've two other albums, and you can hear them progressing over the five years or so since the first one. They've pretty much cracked the reggae thing, and have left anything other than a trace or ska, punk or skapunk behind.

Otis Gibbs new album is free to stream on his website, and absolutely superb country licks. http://otisgibbs.com/ Absolutely gutted to be away when he is playing over here in the summer.

Talk about a mixed day.

Yesterday we buried a good friend. Whilst at the funeral I found out his daughter had just signed a recording contract, and will be supporting her heroes Random Hand at this years Norwich Punk Picnic.


Sophie Porter, your dad would be so proud of you.

And if fast, intelligent accoustic punk is your thing, look her up.

Opposite end really. Punk sentiments over thrash speed, well played accoustic guitar
