Pama Intl's Rockers Revolt label signs BABYHEAD

Rockers Revolt are proud to announce the labels latest signing...
the Bristol machine known as BABYHEAD and the release of the first in a trilogy of singles 'Jungle Lore'.

Born out of love for Jamacian sound clash, forged through a do it yourself punkrock ethic and delivered with a raw hip hop swagger, the unstoppable Babyhead sound is drawn from all quarters of the musical universe, in true Bristol fashion. They have been a live phenomenon in the clubs and on the festival circuit, for a decade plus, rocking stages from Glastonbury to Fabric and attracting onstage collaborations from Ozomatli, Rodney P, Alice Russell, scores of children, transvestites and a three legged one eyed dog!

Keith Allen called them "bastard child of Ian Dury and Iggy pop" while the legendary Toots Hibbert himself proclaimed the band "Irie, despite their beards and suits".

To celebrate the release of Jungle Lore, Babyhead will be throwing not one but two release parties...

Friday 28 May 2010 @ Paradise, 19 Kilburn Lane, Notting Hill, London
and
Sunday 30 May 2010 @ The Island, Silver Street, Bristol, BS1 2YP

Jungle Lore is the first single to be taken from Babyhead's third and darkest album, 'Heavy Weather', which was recorded in Portishead’s “State Of Art” studio. Due for release in Sept'10 'Heavy Weather' is a soundscape rooted in Dub, heavy skank, thunderdrums, blazing horns and sharp lyricism. It features 13 simple songs from the rural/urban landscape in the first days of a brave new century. It is a personal tale of love, life, politics, sex, death and the greatest British preoccupation - The weather.
