Episode Synopsis

'Paradise’ is the latest offering from London’s 2-Tone champions, The Kubricks. Produced by Toby Davies of Gentlemen's Dub Club, it “makes ska and reggae seem like a perfect fit with 21st-century musical trends”, said Bucketlist (Canada).

Featured on the 2017 album, The Heist, ‘Paradise’ is one of 12 tracks which Do The Dog Music (UK) described as, “a very strong contender for the title ‘album of the year’”. Upon release, The Heist soared to the top of the reggae charts on iTunes. It attracted the attention of Tom Robinson of BBC6 Music, and BBC Introducing in Essex, who featured the tracks ‘Down With The Dogs’, ‘The Heist’, and ‘Better of Me’ on their radio shows. A long-time supporter of The Kubricks, Tom Robinson — as well as Huey Morgan — has also featured tracks from their previous release, Wasters & Wannabes.

In addition to their own headline shows, the band have supported UB40, Bad Manners, The Lightning Seeds, The Toasters and Buster Shuffle, with festival slots alongside The Skints and DJ Fresh. They have played to tens of thousands over the last four years with appearances at Wickerman, Godiva, Bug Jam, Brownstock, The London International Ska Festival and Brentwood Festival, amongst others.

The single and album are available at all major streaming and download stores in addition to The Kubricks’ website.
