Bio:
Bolshy are a DIY ska-punk band from Liverpool, who combine Klezmer/Dub/Metal/Afrobeat/Calypso.
They've taken the UK underground scene by storm over the last 5 years, supporting the likes of The Restarts, Prince Fatty and Culture Shock. They've brought the sun out at festivals alongside Neville Staples, Inner Terrestrials, Dreadzone & The Beat and performed at a 50,000 strong 'Save Our NHS' rally in Whitworth Park, Manchester.
In 2014 Bolshy launched a crowdfunding campaign to release their debut EP which surpassed it’s £1500 target in 17 days. The “Radical. Anarchic. Bolshy. Scouse.” EP, released June that year, has been featured by Four Culture (USA), Bido Lito & Do the Dog skazine and received airplay on 4ZZZ 102.1FM's Ska Trek show [Brisbane, Australia].
Bolshy have strengthened their national fan base with 3 UK Tours. March 2017 will see the release of their long anticipated debut album "Reap The Storm" with another UK tour and a European tour in June. The song writing on Reap the Storm has matured, the genres have become more experimental and socio-political issues continue to be at the fore-front of every track.
“One could argue that Bolshy takes Ska a step further” FourCulture (USA)

“An exciting new talent emerging out of Liverpool” Do The Dog Music
