Steel Pulse announce ‘Handsworth Revolution’ April UK dates including headlining London Ska Festival
Steel Pulse have been true to their roots for over 35 years. One of
Bob Marley’s favourites, the band has maintained a sense of fierce
integrity as it strives to get the message of love and justice across
to all people. The band tour extensively worldwide and have
contributed to various relief efforts including the Haitian earthquake
and Hurricane Katrina.
Formed in 1975 at Handsworth Boys School, Steel Pulse are one of the
most recognisable reggae acts of all time. Producing fresh,
cross-cultural tunes that linked experiences of urban youth to a
greater collective knowledge and tradition, their music was embraced
by everyone from Rastafarians to Punks. Their 1987 Grammy Award for
Best Reggae Album, ‘Babylon The Bandit’ remains the only time the
award has been won by a non-Jamaican artist, and they continue to tour
and perform with the same fiery spirit, producing feel good music with
striking political messages.
Steel Pulse is working on a new studio album, slated for release later
in 2015 and the documentary - Steel Pulse ‘The Definitive History’.

The Chimpz Release New Video "California"
When you see this video, you will know exactly where they are coming from and why the have so much love for the State of California. The Chimpz hope that this video will entice the rest of the world to come to their home state and experience what they get to live and experience everyday.
is video was so much fun and really crazy to shoot. It was shot in 4 days in six locations including Downtown L.A.(special thanks to Styliztik Jones), in North Hollywood, Venice Beach, County Line Beach and a secret spot off of P.C.H., all which included some pretty difficult shoots because of factors such as traffic, parking, wind, lighting, and tricky weather. But thanks to our director and camera crew, we were able to pull it off!
Special thanks to our director and director of photography Michael Valentino. To Eric Pacheco for assisting in the filming and bringing all his fun gopro toys! Editing and post production by Shawn Lyon and Michael Valentino. We had an amazing cast and crew and the energy from our fans and extras was overwhelming and very much appreciated! This video is for you ChimpzNation! We love you and appreciate all of your continued support! ~The Chimpz

ENTER SHIKARI RELEASE 'SLIPSHOD' ANIMATED VIDEO
‘Slipshod’ is, kind of, NOT taken from the forthcoming album 'The Mindsweep’. It is, instead, an iTunes exclusive bonus track and, therefore, to use the twisted logic that exists within the walls of Shikari HQ, ideal for spending money on making a video for.
So...contact was made with Mr Peter MacAdams of Vancouver, Canada, formerly an animator on legendary gross-out cartoon series Ren & Stimpy (a long-time favourite of the band). The results speak for themselves.
‘The Mindsweep’ will be released in the UK on January 19th 2015 and comes almost exactly three years to the day after the release of the band’s last full-length album, ‘A Flash Flood Of Colour’.
Enter Shikari have but one show left in 2014. Its one of their now legendary Christmas Party shows, and also features supports from two of the most exciting young rock bands in Britain today, Nottingham’s Baby Godzilla and Yorkshire’s Allusondrugs.
The band will also DJ at the show’s afterparty til 3am under their alter-ego guise of the Shikari Sound System.
The event takes place this Wednesday at Liverpool’s Camp & Furnace venue, and the remaining few tickets are available from the band’s website.
2015 will be a year of touring in support of ‘The Mindsweep’, with UK & European shows already announced and with many shows already sold out. The band have also announced two high-profile UK festival headline slots.. the first of which sees them headlining the Second Stage at Download Festival in June, and then headlining Somerset’s Nass Festival in July.
