A brief bio:
…Then the horns come in and it makes me think of a big group marching into battle…
Since 2011 this West London sextet’s aim has always been the same - to bring fast paced, horn heavy, up-tempo ska-punk to your ears. The band draws influences from a whole host of mid 90’s Fat Wreck Chords esq. bands. Direct influences include Less Than Jake, Streetlight Manifesto, Capdown, T/Alan, Mad Caddies & Sublime. The group’s sheer determination to keep making music throughout the challenges over the years has reigned supreme & they have achieved some successful strides in keeping 3rd wave ska-punk in the public eye.
Having self-released a three-track ‘free-p’ (or ‘three-p’, if you will,) in January, the band are about as DIY as you can get – the recording, mixing, pressing, CD/merch designing & printing and all other aspects of management is produced by the band themselves. Everything you purchase from LSH is proudly hand-made and hands-on.
Having shared stages with the likes of The Selecter!, Fandangle, The New Town Kings, The Toasters, Sonic Boom Six, Beat the Red Light & Popes of Chillitown… and having gone on this year to share stages with the likes of Department S, Eddie & The Hot Rods, Anti Pasti , 999 & The JB Conspiracy… and having been described generally as contributing to keeping the traditionally unfashionable ska-punk scene alive and well, they are definitely one to watch for 2017.
