Whilst the local 6 piece’s new single ‘Bang Bang’ inherits that signature Ska sound within the rebounding buoyance of the guitars that vibrantly coil and spring to each vaulting beat, there is also a complete diversity to it, being refined in sections with edges of Rock’n’Roll and complemented wholly by a spirited vocal melody. And it’s great to be saying all this; because those initial few seconds that opened the song almost propelled me into a stagnant state of terror; anticipating a song that roughly 100 Ska artists could mistakenly claim ‘was theirs first’ – However my assumptions were utterly shattered by the unique sound of ‘Bang Bang’, abolish your pre-conceptions on Ska and rip them up into tiny pieces; Dirty Money No. 5 definitely bring something new to the table.
