Update on the Ska/Reggae 'super-group' THE SIMMERTONES .. and their soon to be released debut cd/download. The Devon based 9 piece, consists of Rob Murphy Drums, Del Anning Bass, Keith Waller Sax, Rich Mills Trumpet, Ray Beavis Sax, Sam Smith Trombone, Jamie Stretch Watkin on Guitar, Tom Crowe on keys and the magical vocals of Glyn Wilcox. Most of these guys have played Ska together for decades! The Simmertones have been together for two years now and have quickly become festival headliners; such as Plymouth’s Respect Festival, Kingsbridge Music Fest, Newt Beer Festival, as well as building a strong following across regular South West venues. The band are delighted with the result of our first visit to the recording studio under the production of legendary Island Records maestro Digby Smith who has worked with Marley, Zeppelin, Clapton, McCartney, ELO, Sparks, Palmer.....and now The SIMMERTONES!!!!!

The Simmertones have been a long time coming but will it be worth the wait? Damn right it will! Proper ska. Proper job. Covers at first but a good mix of stuff you'll know and stuff you'll never have heard before. Hopefully you'll be tempted to search out the originals after you hear us do them.
