The cross-cultural sound clash of underground genres that is Sonic Boom Six is back again with the release of their third album. City of Thieves follows the concept of a collection of songs that explore and examine life in a large UK city. The album combines grime, ska and even a touch of glam rock to the mix whole still managing to shove the boundaries of punk. On many of their songs, Sonic Boom Six go in so many directions that are melodically and rhythmically so different than most rock bands. Stand out tracks are Jericho, with its razor sharp riffs and tight heavy drums beats, and slow and catchy Floating Away.
In one of their best albums yet, Sonic boom Six deliver their unique style of Ska Punk with a snarling live edge, feel good brass and sweet dub-beats throughout.
Released 20th April.
