About

The Dualers are the UK’s most electrifying ska and reggae revivalists, blending infectious rhythms with a timeless sound that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly modern. Formed in South London by brothers Tyber and Si Cranstoun, the band has carved out a unique space in the British music scene, fusing traditional Jamaican ska with soulful vocals and a distinctly British charm. Their music is a vibrant tapestry of upbeat horns, groovy basslines, and lyrics that celebrate love, unity, and resilience. Since their inception in the late 1990s, The Dualers have steadily built a loyal following, culminating in their breakthrough 2019 album *"Palm Trees and 80 Degrees,"* which debuted at No. 1 on the UK Reggae Chart. Their energetic live performances, often featuring a full brass section, have become legendary, drawing crowds from all walks of life. The band’s cultural impact lies in their ability to bridge generations, introducing younger audiences to ska while keeping the genre’s roots alive for longtime fans. Notable collaborations include working with legends like Prince Buster and sharing stages with acts such as Madness and The Specials. Their achievements extend beyond music, as they’ve become ambassadors for ska culture, hosting their own annual festival, *The Dualers Weekender.* Currently, The Dualers are riding high on the success of their latest singles, which continue to push their signature sound forward. With a new album on the horizon and a relentless touring schedule, they show no signs of slowing down, proving that ska is alive and kicking in the 21st century.
