Boss Sound Manifesto, “In It For The Good Times” EP. Ska / reggae from Belfast city.
EP recorded at Attic Studios.
Also available on 7″ inch vinyl.
Released 20 December 2014.

Bio

BOSS SOUND MANIFESTO is the result of many years of trying to put together an original sounding reggae/ska band in Belfast. Belfast is not renowned for having much in the way of a Jamaican community and thus finding personnel for the band was a long and arduous task, it took 2 years in total to find said personnel but once together the band ‘clicked’ and not only do they work well together they really, really enjoy the fun in the music.

The band believe that reggae and ska music are truly an international genre and have therefore tried to put their own Belfast stamp on the music, singing with a Jamaican accent never seemed right to the band, nor as non-Rastafari did the band ever feel the need to emulate something that was not of themselves. As early reggae and ska was non religious, the rhythm and infectious feel of the music was an immediate attraction for them all.

The band takes much of their influences from the boss sounds of early reggae, ska and of course the ska revival in the form of two-tone, soul and Northern Soul.

The band have been gathering pace in recent years and gaining a reputation as a must see live band. Festival promoters at home have been keen to take advantage of the bands’ live energy and drive which has seen them support the ‘Father of Reggae’ Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, The Selecter and Bad Manners.

Fast Food Orchestra, “Wherever You Go”, from the 2014 album “Zen”.
Ska/rocksteady from Czech Republic.
Video created by: Fido & Studio Gambello.

Bio

Fast Food Orchestra were formed between 1994-96. They made their first release in 2000 – a cassette only album called “Fugison Party” through Emergency Records. This record was a turning point for the direction of the band, slowly changing into a more traditional ska sound. They have started to regularly appear on most of the Czech summer festivals and play lots of shows in Germany, Slovakia and Switzerland. They have shared the stage with bands such as Yellow Umbrella, Panteon Rococo, the Pilfers, the Selecter, the Toasters, New York Ska-Jazz Ensemble, Persiana Jones, Polemic, Elvis Jackson and the Slackers. One of their biggest achievements was supporting the Skatalites in Dresden 2002 when they were touring Germany.

The band released their second album “Lastfood?” on Jahquita Records in spring 2002. This met with great success and solidified the Fast Food Orchestra sound and style. The band has since worked with the best Czech toaster Dr. Kary who has appeared alongside New York Ska Jazz Ensemble and Panteon Rococo, since then he is a regular fixture on the bands live shows and even took part on this current release.

“Mangrooves” has even more traditional sound which is close to rocksteady but also has unbelievable groovy dancing rhythms with a taste of dancehall and ragga. Fast Food Orchestra are well known for their unforgettable and entertaining live performances.

Los Fastidios, “Let’s A.F.A.” + “La mia vita”, album preview for “Let’s Do It”, released December 2014 on Kob Records.

Los Fastidios represent today one of the European streetpunk scene’s most important bands. The band born in Verona (north east of Italy) in late 1991 led by Enrico (well-known figure of the national scene and founder of the independent label KOB Records.

The Los Fastidios sound is a powerful melodic streetpunk which mixes classical 80’s British Punk-OI ! sounds with skanking, rock’n’roll and hardcore rythms, sung in Italian with some touches of english, french and spanish languages.

The lyrics come from the most cheerful street situations to more serious and involved matters which deal with social problems, such as battles against racism-fascism and any form of discrimination, for the animal rights, for freedom and against the capitalistic system.

These last years, Los Fastidios have archieved great number of anti-racist intiatives and social causes,by taking part in various support gigs with collections in favour of Chiapas, for the workers, against racism, for the animal rights, against war, against capitalism and neoliberism, etc.

2015 will see Los Fastidios undertaking an extensive European tour. For dates and more info, see : http://www.losfastidios.net/#!tour/cb30

Bio

Masons Arms are at home in the Bamberg-based Rocking Records. Together in the autumn of 2012, the “Gepackt” album was published. Thanks to their dedicated label, the band regularly toured all over Germany – sharing the stage with Babylove & the van Dangos, the Skatalites, Jaya the Cat, the Slackers, Doreen Shaffer, the Moon Invaders, Dr. Woggle & the Radio, the Busters, Leo & the Lineup, El Bosso & die Skadiolas, Sebastian Sturm, The Beatdown, and many others.

Masons Arms was founded in 1995, in Rhenish Heinsberg. As one of the first German-speaking Skapunk Bands with their roots in the Skatepunk of the 90s, they quickly grew from being a local band to regional size, playing numerous concerts in both Germany and the Netherlands. After self-released Demos and EPs, as well as samplers for Vitaminepillen and Wolverine Records, the album, “Ex-girlfriends & broken hearts” was released in 2004 on the Cologne-based punk and hardcore label Unpopular Disclose Records.

After this, like many other bands of the same seniority, came a rest period with a lower stage presence where the members of the band concentrated on education/training, jobs, family, and children. But this time was used productively: new songs were written, new band members recorded, the musical horizon expanded with other band projects. With increasing age and musical maturity came a gradual instant change of style accompanied by just songwriter Hanno, recollecting himself increasingly on the roots of his own kind of music: Traditional Ska, early Reggae and Soul music of the late 60s and early 70s.

With Dr. Ring Ding, the Masons Arms won a producer who helped them to fine-tune their own musical roots in this style, but to remain faithful. With his support, they started the production of “Gepackt”. Andre Meyer of Rootdown Records helped them finally to their current sound.
