The swimming pool is now open, Could patrons please strictly adhere to the rules of maximum splashing, diving, bombing, singing, shouting, dancing, screaming, petting, surfing, consuming alcohol and smoking cannabis products. Please shower before entering the pool and if you cannot swim please alert a lifeguard. To share your life's work is your only reward. You live by the pen and you die by the
sword. I'm struggling to breathe as I fall to the floor, and I just can't take no more.
I can't get no money for the music I play. I can't get no respect for the things that I
say. I'm building cobwebs just to blow them away, and I just can't take no more.
When I was a yout this was never the plan, thought that things would turn out better
once I grew into a man. Now I'm crawling in the dirt because I'm too afraid to stand,
and I just can't take no more.

 They say the struggle for power will turn your heart sour, every hour of your day.
 If you just can't be then inevitably you will crumble, and blow away.
 Alone.. Oh yeah.
 Oh Lord! Oh yeah.

 Cause there ain't no time for danger, and there ain't no time for love.
When we met we both were strangers. But I guess once push comes to shove..
I don't wanna go back to a world without you.
 We spend these days living life on the road. We take what we can get and try to do
as we're told. There's a glimmer in the distance but it's never paved in gold, and we
just can't take no more.
 There's no guarantees for this music we play. We don't want to dissect every thing
that we say! No we don't believe in Jah but we're still writing Dub Reggae, and we
just can't take no more!

As the crowds grow restless And express their distrust I’m wide awake I’m wide awake as their schemes and plots Are hatched and reared in the nest of the vipers If you think they think you matter You are mistaken To them you are just here for the taxation Been thinking about what happens To those who serve us wrong The officer who chose to rob a mother of her son And a tower stands in ashes No one’s held accountable Justice is something that is not universal To tell the next scene These robots all know I’m a mutant Yeah sentinels can smell the X-Gene Use your powers come join the team (X-Men) Cos all those who wanna reign supreme Never really seem to wanna take the blame supreme Or feel the pain too deep We get left in the rain you see New day but it all feels the same to me And now you wanna make your country hate again? Please teach these cunts to be afraid again I said away with them And as the crowds grow restless I’m wide awake with them And if you ain’t insane or dead You better engage your brain and get Wise to their tactics Ignite your mind like a matchstick And start a blaze on ‘em

“What’s going on, we’re The Skints from London Town… I think we should get the party started and the only way for that to happen is for every single person in the room to dance to some ska music right now, whadya reck?” I ain't gonna beg it ring your phone all the time Cos the "begger bredda" I can tell ain't your type Paid for a couple cab fare, I bought her couple wine But if she thinks that imma spend hard she got the wrong guy Cos money never grew on my family tree I just want you girl, not a family, jheeze! I want in with the charge, should I plan the retreat? Trust me it's you I want, of that much I am sure cos you ain't like them other ones... So can I lay you down girl? Lay you down, on my bed girl, upon my bed Tell you in my time felt some punch to the boat Tell you in my time felt the knife to my throat But I feel the pain in my brain the most She wake up in my bed but she won't stay for tea & toast
4.
You cut me off like some sort of joke When all I wanted was to love you better, Can’t be sure that you’ll ever come back again, Girl you were a new kind of friend. Now what you giving up on me for, I only wanted us to be more, You said that you could not quite be sure That I’m the one that you could ensure, To keep you warm on lonely nights girl, To hold you close but that’s alright girl, I’m not the kind of boy to play the fool, So don’t you call me when you’re in the mood. Maybe someday you’ll find Someone who leaves you behind, They got no cause they got no reason, Their heart is changing with the seasons, I hope someday you feel that pain girl Because today I feel the same girl, A lonely soul a broken heart and You’re in the arms of another man. Don’t you think it’s such a terrible thing that my heart you could just throw away, If you give it a chance then your life could be enhanced with romance. You cut me off like some sort of joke When all I wanted was to love you better, Can’t be sure that you’ll ever come back again, Girl you were a new kind of friend.

“Let’s turn this place into Brixton zoo right now and the animals have escaped” 
Well I love rubadub as you know
I sing a little reggae ditty on the go
 The melody ah tellin' me that I should show
 My love for the reggae dub style done know!
 Come follow me now to the start of the race,
 everybody on their marks time to pick up the pace, 
starting pistol at the ready as we ready for the chase, 
my heart thump thump, sweat ah run down my face - and the gun go shot! 
Every man be hot on my trail,
 Gotta keeps my wits about me 'cause I need to prevail, and how, 
the race has only begun just now and I leave them in a fat dust cloud - I can't 
fail,
I gotta show them that I've got what it takes,
 I gotta show them that I won't put on the brakes, 
I gotta show them that I'll make my mistakes 'cause they're mine and I can't run
away.
 Well some of them people try and slow me down
 but i'm running at an excellent speed 
lemme tell ya some of them people
 try and broke me out but they won't catch a fucking penny from me 
cos i see them nuff vampire
 pure bloodsucker
 stake to the heart now it's started
 snake in the grass 
mate you're bater than Carnage 
take this to the grave
 amen, you're departed
 and if it ain't about money, why's your hand inna my pocket?
 sure ain't a joke but i'm standing here laughing
 tank when i'm warring
 mandem applauding 
talk about true colours? prick i'll run you red while i'm barring 
Well I'll never let another man slow me down, reconsider life but it's not the
 same.
 And if you're listening you know my vocals come from my mouth, and then you


 . 
 
know it came to life in my brain. 
No, I'll never let another man write my songs, put me in a likkle thong when I 
know I'm making their Wonga! Spending all the money that I make them on
 another young thing with a bumper, little bit of talent when she sings, but no 
comfort.
 Wine up on my airwaves looking like Oompa Loompa, see her mouth ah moving 
but she mime to her songs, yah. Got an awful lot of love fi Rubadub gone 
suddenly my pain.

“Brixton you feeling good out there? Who saw our mates all the way from Toronto Canada, Bedouin Soundclash, open up the show tonight? Make noise! All original Skints party crew if you lot know about this tune, I wanna see your knees up on the fucking ceiling.” I know with a bit of control you could be a little better, better yet a better
friend to me (me say that) I know you could get your life in order, hear it knocking on your door with a Ratatat-
tat. 
I know with a bit of control you could be a little better, better yet a better friend to me,
me say that 
I know you could get your life in order, hear it knocking on your door with a Ratatat-
tat. (tat tat tat tat) 
Cause I mark it as a must have, ride it like a mustang, ignore it like your phone rang,
 say it like I have saying took away my life man, took away my life line, couldn't be my
 only. When you see me you treat me like a piece of meat, like a DVD cause i'm a
 VCR, see and I will be ghastly cause i lost my last me, ran around for your sake so 
I'm gonna get nasty 
I know that you are no good for me. One more time and then you'll set
 me free. 
I'm rocking back and forth of course I'll blame it on myself. 
(I been going stir crazy from haze 
And awake for two days 
Better than to be sleeping in hell)
 Falling apart like a fragment, climbing back into my shell. 
And it's bait that's she's making me change 
Love became hate and rage 
I'm locked up, but I aint in a cell 
Aint cocked up but I'm blaming myself 
Long stuff feeling pain from a girl
 Monged out and away from the world for a minute
 Friends say it's the way of the world that I live in
 And I don't wanna give it
 But honestly I'm finished 
And the quality's diminished and I'm feeling kinda sick-ish
 Hook, line and sinker like fishes
 Never took time and did my three wishes
 Make a hook/line and keep myself singing 
Could say that I've scored and ain't winning
 But mate that's women, innit
 I know that you are no good for me. One more time and
 then you'll set me free. 
Got a little bit of 8-bit raggabit. My reggae vibe alive,
 having all of it. Visit all eternity it stops while I play, when I'm


 physically yearning for the bass while i'm holding it.
 Got a little bit of Grime, no crime. Cosmically fly, well you're gonna
 be mine Frank West better make it cause he's running up high, me 
ah dead the undead, one rhyme at a time.
One more time, so divine, one of mine, bickering ain't gonna make
 you get in line this time. Me second maybe lady will evolve? I'm 
trying! But you're keeping me right here with your protective stylin.
 Can you hear the bell ah ring? I hear the bell ah chime, man ah say
 me ah the one but I know you tell a lie you know you made me
 wanna die? I had a cry, no style, read the signs me haffi say 
goodbye.
I know that you are no good for me. One more time and
then you'll set me free.
 You get down... my soul ah weak and you've been messing around.
 But this sound, rocking around the system. My likkle soul, me
 dancing around!
 Now hold up.
 No no no You don't love me And I know now No no no You don't love me Yes I know now 'Cause you left me, baby And I got no place to go now No no no I'll do anything you say boy No no no I'll do anything you say boy

“Thank you. The reason that we’re all gathered here today and why we’ve been on tour for 23 days across Europe is cos earlier this year we released an album called Swimming Lessons. Maybe you heard it maybe you didn’t but here’s something a little spicy, I want no behaviour…” She broke my heart then she broke my head, She broke my back when she broke the bed, I’m hanging by a noose, by a thread, I’m dead, tell me what did I learn today? She stole my soul and she took my mind, She killed my vibe when she said goodbye, I’m Heading for a fall for I climbed too high, tell me what did I learn today? Nothing at all.

“Here’s the plan… All of you, all fifteen hundred of you, joining hands together with us, your best friends forever, The Skints… And we’re going deep into the forest.” 
To say that we are all the same is a delusion, 
but from that please draw not negative conclusion, 
for I mean not to say that we should not be every single race as one in equality, 
for without one another the world would turn flat,
 it matters not how many names are on your family map, 
for the tree of life is enormous and relates to all of we,
 so open up your eyes and see,
 The forest for the tree. 

So don’t chop we down Mr Lumberer, 
and if you should succeed,
 piece we back together Mr Carpenter, 
in a labour of love for humanity.
 I rate it, reckon I’d like it like I rock opportunity And I roll on regardless, run and build a forest for the tree I rested inna mi space until it started to relate to me Respect inna the world, oh well i’m ready see For without one another, won’t grow, we know the world inevitably crack It’s not how many men ah reckon ours is the land For the land in which we fell in too requires a greater need So open up your eyes and see
 Well I tell now 
If you have a forest then you’ve got to have a tree
 And if you have a beehive then it must contain a bee
 Follow me now
 If you’re boiling a teapot then you must in brew it tea
 Cos no man is an island as it was sung by the one Dennis B
 So big up the people that promote them individuality 
Rationality and humility, vibes and factuality
 And you’re wanting to act like you and me are the same but in actuality
 I don’t try and derive my pride blind from my nationality
 No way… (“Same Drugs” by Chance The Rapper) We don't do the same drugs no more We don't do the, we don't do the same drugs, do the same drugs no more Cause she don't do the same drugs no more We don't do the, we don't do the same drugs, do the same drugs no more When did you change? Wendy you've aged I thought you'd never grow up I thought you'd never Window closed, Wendy got old I was too late, I was too late A shadow of what I once was (“Big Ship” by Freddie McGregor) Say when I'm ready you must hold on steady We're moving off at lightening speed, yeah Take a seat and wait 'till I'm ready I'm coming so hold on steady, yeah Big ship sailing on the ocean We don't need no commotion Big ship sailing on the ocean Big ship sailing on the ocean Big ship sailing on the ocean
9.
“Where will the set take us next I wonder? More dancing now!” Why couldn't you tell me so? Would it really have been all that much of a blow to your ego? I guess it's just another case of never never know, Where did you go? Where did you go?... This could be the only way, this could be the only way until i find another way. I've been trying not to let it go too deep, ain't no use in losing precious sleep, I'd been wrestling with it for a while, I could not fake my smile... because i stumbled in and stumbled out all at the same time, hurt by a strange crime - trying to realign my mind for that which was so undeniably a waste of time, but still i wonder... Why couldn't you tell me so? Would it really have been all that much of a blow to your ego? I guess it's just another case of never never know, Where did you go? Where did you go?... This could be the only way, this could be the only way until i find another way. You don't have to cry, you don't have to cry... nobody is dragging you home.
10.
I wanna say I run the sound like I’m over it Keep my four to the floor we are threatening But it’s mental how your words can unravel it They pick apart the pieces like a piquant pepper pickles it I’m running with the signs, I’m rebel and Keep in line or they cry you’re not feminine I’m the light that towards you should be running so Ima try to remind galdem just human Woah, I didn’t say nothing about a woman who wanted a fair shot Who wanted to tear up I don’t know maybe I mean it but sometimes I feel I gotta give up Think about that woman who wanted to stand here Up against her peers As if it weren’t weird If you’re feeling bad, well i wanna warn you that “calm down” Will be the next sound inna your delicate ears La la la la I heard they been talking Now which kind of righteous path is that you think you've been walking? Looks like snorting and extorting I ain’t supporting or applauding None of that energy, that’s appalling Think I’m crawling cos I ain’t balling? It’s the dice game of life and I’m all in I dodge the goblins on my left I swerve the leeches on my right hand side Believe things can really start itching If you don’t start checking for parasites Am I paranoid? Nah I’m para-nice Trust nobody, yeah that’s some rad advice Seeing red better stop like a traffic light Shook up ready to pop like a can of sprite I’m so sick of belittling and aggression so passive If I go one day without being reminded of my skin and sex it’s just massive Taking all my energy, level of my lethargy, stepping on my every moment although I cannot be anything because “why don’t you smile honey?” Maybe cos I matter 30% less than a bredda from the mid west I won’t serve as a window from which your whole world perception does shine I won’t protect you from your ignorance when your lack of knowledge and culture presides Women of colour couldn’t stand here Up against their peers Cause it was so weird And if you’re feeling bad well I wanna warn you that “calm down” will be the next sound inna your delicate ears I guess I’m learning what I didn’t wanna learn I guess I’m burning what I didn’t wanna burn Watch as the night becomes the light then fades to black

“You don’t understand how much we’ve been looking forward to playing the next one here. It really doesn’t have the effect affect when you’re in *********, know what I’m saying?” London City I was born in You know I love this town, But I can't pick up when she's calling So riddle me this, follow me to the place that raised me Gave me the up and down that develop and shape me Give me a run down town with a Ruffneck sound Cause the rat inna the underground don’t phase me. I’ve never been the one to stay in just one place mind; For the love of the music we do not discriminate, fly From the mountain tops to an eastern block, Or a tropical island to catch a nice vibe. But no matter where we go we leave London Town Reliable, we ride up in our black steed and, Turn up an hour early for the soundcheck jam Sip on a little rum and run the riddim and sound. Then we back on the road, on the way, today we’re racing Against the clock ah catch a tunnel we are facing No matter where we go, we are coming on home I said Londinium give me another day, sing 
Well I love the London music that come before my time Cos the new vibes got me wishing that it was back in '85 Whether the punk or roots and culture, raga, jungle, hip-hop or grime So I take a little trip on the Victoria line And I check for Tippa Irie there down inna Brixton Who bun down tracks with the man in the sound like Saxon system Stepping round town and we see the bredrin Horse man he says... (Horseman) "Come, yes unno make we nice up session" The Skints, Tippa Irie and the one Horseman The three of we, yes we ah go join as one So let's get together and do this boom song Mi know them haffi play it pom them station Or Ya haffi see we pon the television Everybody stamp them foot and everybody raise them hand You never know cah this one's a champion And what them talking about? The place London (Tippa Irie) Because I really love my London town True deh up and true deh down I been almost everywhere but I man have to come back here So much different things to do, so much different things to see It it multicultural now, but I just love it anyhow Born and raised right here Smoke a zoot, drink a beer No we nah go have no fear We love this land and atmosphere It is where I am from, it is where I belong It's the only place for me For I man and my family London City I was born in You know I love this town, Cause I’m a resident that’s why Yeah I
12.
I’m a fool, I’m a fool, I’m a fool For thinking I had your love For you’re pushing me away and I feel so sad to say That I never really had your heart I’m a fool, I’m a fool, I’m a fool For thinking I had your heart For you’re pushing me away and I feel so damn betrayed That I never really had your love There in my darkest hour You were an open flower Nurturing all of my sorrow But now your sweet nectar has all run dry I sit here in despair wondering where your love has left me
13.
“Brixton, we ain’t finished yet, have you lot still got the energy to dance to some ska music or what?” They say there's friends and there's business Who do you really know? I see the snakes in The grass so I step on around try and keep to My way and I'll say that it's hard not to laugh When pretenders will seem to All be your best friends When they're taking a wage, getting paid Then they'll leave you When the money ends They show their true colours now I'm seeing red They say there's friends and there's business Who do you really know? I feel the fakes in The handshakes and meetings, they're cheating, deceitful They don't understand Some people won't be bought or sold, I can see through The game that you're playing Where the rules are made for us to lose, I don't think so Well I got plan For a storm on these fair weather friends
14.
These things that you own All your silver and gold Cannot buy you a hope In these judgement days These things that you know Well they just might be false But the truth will unfold In these judgement days (Runkus) Judgement Would you swim or drown when it come then? When the king come down fi go judge men? When The Skints drums sound and the trumpets (loud) Income income coming Would you count on Him when you counting Would you bank or swim to the mountains Would save yourself or the hundreds? (pounds) Hope you don’t Love the money more Than you love you soul What you owe to a couple golds Than to go fah your goals Know the score So if you run in Manchester city with a arsenal fi da sterling Then on judgement day when you get the visit and you ask the Lord you’ll be burning (Rise Up) Forest Gate was in my heart, Manor Park was in my arteries I guess after all the parties Walthamstow's become a part of me And bunnin' all this Woodford Green has made me Chingford Hatch a plan, So yeah man, I will be Leytonstone'd but at least I will know where I stand and I dunno about the Rio Grande, but I'll tell you bout the River Thames and I've never been to Montego Bay, but I'll tell ya about the Ilford ends And on the real fam, man I deal with friends and I'll never put a Dagenham And yes I will go Barking mad if the people start attacking 'em And I Wanstead on my own, but they now there is a crew of us So watch out you don't get Clapton Road, if you man out to slew and duss And big enough for the two of us, this town don't seem to be been up and down the Lea Bridge strip like each and every week singing... (CHORUS) The Skints we are gonna kill you inna this here time. (We are the roughneck scouts) The Skints we are gonna kill you inna this here time. (Dis ah the wickedest sound) The Skints we are gonna kill you inna this here time. (We are the roughneck scouts) The Skints we are gonna kill you inna this here time. (Dis ah the wickedest sound) So I bet you think you're rougher than them, tougher than them, see you dying to cry cause I play you like instrument, calling out the mandem, cause man can't understand them, I tread on the level because nowhere is where I can't step. I bet you think you're knowing how to fight for survival, living off the government and pray from the bible. I bet you think you know about the roots but it's no rival. I'm rocking the baroque, larking with Bach, I'm analysing! CHORUS I tell them "Rise up! Me ah listen good music inna evening, until the morning time. Rise up! Me ah dance ah Reggae music inna midnight, until the sun start shine. Rise up! Me ah listen good music inna evening, until the morning time. Rise up! Me ah dance ah Reggae music inna midnight, until the sun start shine"

“Ladies and Gentlemen, on the drums and vocals, Mr Jamie Kyriakides!” Tell me why Love is the devil and I’m in hell tonight How could she lie to me, tell me please Love is the killer and I’m down on my knees Begging her please just to spare my life When I remember her eyes And the many sweet lies that she told me When she’d hold me oh so close to her And when I think of her smile Well I just have to pause for a while and recover From this poisonous fallout left off from my lover Woah, these tears they hold no barriers, no, no, no, no For now I know I’m infected with her disease, I am the carrier of a broken heart So tell my why Love is the devil and I’m in hell tonight How could she lie to me tell me please Love is the killer and I’m down on my knees Begging her please just to spare my life (Jesse Royal) Knew that you were trouble from the start But my lonely soul, clouded mind and fickle heart Wouldn’t let me do what was best for me and you Everything was screaming out "separate" But the arrogance made it hard to relate Found joy in the pain of this game You cut me deeper than I’ve ever been cut before Still I can’t find the courage to show you the door Under your spell, caught up in your allure You’ve got me hurting but crying out for more
16.
“Thank you all so much man. Thank you all for buying a ticket tonight and making it so special, we appreciate you all to the fullest. The four people you see onstage tonight have been making music together as The Skints for the last 12 years, since we were legally children, okay? So to be doing our biggest ever show on our biggest ever tour is like fucking stupid. So thank you so so much man, everyone. Shout out Tom, out manager. Paul, our long suffering FOH guy, Adam at the merch, Barnzy, Sav, everyone that’s been on the tour with us man, it’s been super special, we love all of you and we’ll see you very soon….bye.” Culture vulture, I am not I'm just tryin' to have a good time Culture vulture, I am not I'm just tryin' to feel them good vibrations When you've come to the end of your tether I'll be at your aid my love no matter what the weather See I ain't the kind of person to just shoot you down 'cause on earth we all stand firmly on the ground And when we're dealing with these complicated figures Up on their pedestals, they all point and they snigger But what they don't know is that our fingers are on the trigger and we're aiming to shoot them down Yes, we're aiming to shoot them down I may like reggae, but I know where I'm from I live inna Babylon
17.
We got the same kind of energy charging through our system. And we've got a strong flow of chemistry Sparks they be flying, higher than jet planes. There's no denying our love will hold the reins. Sunny sunny Pictures of us Money money I don't want no fussing with it no, no Sunny sunny Pictures of us Money money I don't want no fussing with it no, no We've got a song and a melody. You know I'll never leave you. And we do our thing, shape it delicately. Sparks they be flying, higher than jet planes. There's no denying our love will hold the reins. When the words we spoke like air chokes and we can't look one another in the eye. It's the hypocrisy that will gradually wear away the enamel of our spirit once high, I gave my two cents but I'm just so worn out to reprise, so while it's simmering in the back of my mind. I'd like to say my piece and cease this petty cry. Do ya really love me? Yeah You don't really know... Sparks they be flying, higher than jet planes. There's no denying our love will hold the reins.
18.
I, I'm I'm so in love with you Whatever you want to do Is all right with me Cause you make me feel so brand new And I want to spend my life with you Let me say that since, baby, since we've been together Loving you forever Is what I need Let me, be the one you come running to I'll never be untrue Oh baby Let's, let's stay together ('gether) Lovin' you whether, whether Times are good or bad, happy or sad Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad Why, why some people break up Then turn around and make up I just can't see You'd never do that to me (would you, baby) Staying around you is all I see (Here's what I want us do) Let's, we oughta stay together ('gether) Loving you whether, whether Times are good or bad, happy or sad Come on Let's stay, (let's stay together) let's stay together Loving you whether, whether times are good or bad
19.
“We promise to keep doing this if you guys keep coming, that’s all I can say man. We are The Skints and we love each other. And we love you, forever, and we’ll see you soon. I want all the crazy crew front and centre, let’s go.” When I was young, I had swimming lessons Kick your legs and keep your head above the water You get older and you learn different lessons Still keep it moving, keep your head above it all you grow and so It stings my eyes so much I’m feeling chilled to the bone No boat Can’t row We’re falling out can’t hold on to the sides reach out yeah When we were young, we had swimming lessons I pulled you down and watched your frown under the water Now I’m older and I’ve learned different lessons Can’t take for granted that your world won’t fall apart now No echo It freaks me out so much I’m feeling chilled to the bone Love, sweet love No Ro, won’t hold on anymore reach out yeah It shook up my perspective of our lives cause every now and then I write a rhyme let out a sigh cause Nothing will ever erase the image of that night, oh why would I try, when the ink’s already dry, love There’s no echo It freaks me out so much I’m feeling chilled to the bone Love, sweet love Just give me more, i need you don’t go, Ro Don’t go “Nice one London, we’re The Skints, laters.”

about

Born from the east London ska-punk scene, The Skints have built up a formidable live reputation in recent years and have been described by Clash magazine as “the torchbearers for modern British reggae music”, marking them out as one of the most respected bands in UK music whilst still staying strict to their independent DIY roots. Playing live is the heartbeat of the band, and this live recording from their sold-out homecoming show at Electric Brixton during the ‘Swimming Lessons’ 2019 European tour captures them at the height of their powers. A melting pot of reggae, rock, ska, and punk, this live recording features blistering live takes of tracks from the Swimming Lessons album, raucous fan favourites from their back catalogue, and some very choice covers that the band seamlessly weave into the performance. This is the first Skints live album to be officially released, and as the band explains in the quote below, releasing it now feels especially poignant…

“Crazy time to be alive! While Covid-19 has instantly showed us that live music is not the most essential service in a pandemic, it is vital for the soul. We present the first live Skints album from our sold out headline London show in October as a means to bring a Skints show to your home hifi at a time when we should be at a club or a festival near you, but won't be. This show was so special to us; if you were there you know the vibes and if you weren’t you can catch them now! Live albums may be seen as not the in thing right now or a format of the past in a time where everything is live streaming in full video on social media, but we have never been the in thing and have always been old souls at heart. Until we can party together again, turn up Live at Electric brixton LOUD and have a punky reggae party at home.”
