Not many people realise, but I do rather enjoy a bit of ska from time to time. I must admit that I am a bit picky, that comes from being lucky enough to grow up during the 2-Tone era. A high bar as far as I am concerned. The latest cut,
Nice Up, by
Dub Pistols instantly met my standards, there's an authentic sound system feel which many try to replicate, but only the best acts manage to capture. I suppose that comes from the 25 years that Dub Pistols have been in the business, they simply know their onions. You can almost hear the needle tracking around the vinyl as it spins on the turntable. Jolly bouncy and jolly good. Nice one.
'Nice Up' features the legendary voice of Horseman and is taken from Dub Pistols' forthcoming album 'Frontline'.
