"It's Gonna Get Dirty" is a new 5 track EP from female-fronted SKA-DIFF 4 piece Dirty Revolution, and is released on Do the Dog Records.
Their music is a mix of punk, roots reggae and ska; all blended together in the style of The Clash and The Specials. Opening track "Dirty Revolution" shows this off as it veers from high octane ska to slow dubby beats, while "Failure to Communicate" with, Stu White taking over lead vocals, with its anti-establishment lyrics, and touches of melodica, is Punk inspired Reggae with bite.
There are lighter tunes on here with the bright and breezy "50p", taking a quite comical look at the 'style over content' world of pop and a lot of today's rap, with female vocalist Reb Sutton declaring that her mum is harder than 50 Cent's mum, and her bum's bigger than Britney's!, And the jaunty "I Love Reggae".
This EP ends all too quickly with "Police". A tune that I can well relate to, about the police not being there when you need them for something important, but dropping on you like a ton of bricks when you commit some minor misdemeanour!
I look forward to hearing more from this promising band. However, if you want to hear what I'm talking about, and try before you buy, pop onto their myspace page, where you can hear all the tracks for yourself, plus the cracking East & West, which does not appear on the EP.
