The first single of 2020 for Skata Tones, Hands Up, is a high speed and relentless ska journey…
…with a stunning performance from vocalist Robbie, punctuated by the virtuosity of a rhythm section that is seemingly glued together and the infusion of styles from heavy rock to hip-hop and dub. As if that’s not enough, there’s a 6 piece horn section blowing the back door down too.
