Beatdown

This hardworking four-piece outfit has a deep and unyielding passion for roots reggae, Ska and Jamaican music while adding their own elements of 60's soul delivered with a gritty and uncompromising punk rock ethic. Formed out of the ashes of the now legendary Ska soul band the One Night Band. The self-titled record features twelve hard-hitting tracks of pure summer time goodness. Recorded over several months at Indygene studios by producer Alex Giguere (Planet Smashers, Staylefish, the One Night Band, the Real Deal, RDC, Mighty Stef), the Beatdown brought in some good friends and members of the Ska elite to lend their talents to a few tracks. Josh Fuhrman (Planet Smashers, Kingpins) on tenor sax, Larry Love (One Night Band) on organ and Patty Tee (Kman & the 45's) on trombone round out this stellar recording. Stomp Records. 2010.
