Chainska Brassika

About

Chainska Brassika aren’t just playing ska; they’re detonating it with a Molotov cocktail of punk energy and dub sensibilities. This nine-piece collective, hailing from the UK, has spent the last decade carving out a niche as purveyors of high-octane, politically charged ska-punk. Their sound, a raucous blend of skanking rhythms, blistering horns, and sharp-tongued lyrics, draws heavily from the traditions of The Specials and Operation Ivy, while injecting a healthy dose of modern dub and electronica. Rising through the ranks of the UK festival circuit, Chainska Brassika's relentless touring and explosive live shows solidified their reputation as a must-see act. They've shared stages with ska legends like Bad Manners and The Skatalites, proving their mettle amongst the genre's elite. Beyond the music, their socially conscious message, tackling issues like inequality and environmentalism, resonates deeply with their growing fanbase. Known for their collaboration with legendary toaster, Dennis Alcapone, their albums continue to push boundaries, blending classic ska elements with contemporary production techniques. Currently, Chainska Brassika are reportedly working on new material, promising to deliver the same infectious energy and thought-provoking lyrics that have made them a force to be reckoned with in the contemporary ska scene. They're not just reviving a genre; they're reinventing it for a new generation.
