As news comes out that Greta Thunberg and hundreds of other flotilla members are being tortured in Israeli 'prisons'.

I ask you.

Do you stand with Greta Thunberg?

Spread the message Free Greta Thunberg if you do.

It's Bandcamp Friday again, which is always a big help for daft lads like us.
We've reduced the price of our latest album, 'This Blue Earth' on CD & vinyl so those who are yet to get their mitts on it can do so, and can be more like Stanley..

Imagine being around for this, the birth of Rocksteady - it must have been absolutely magic.

Today's Sunday Service is all about this glorious, if brief, scene. No chatter, just Rocksteady.

The Sunday Service returns!
The summer has handed in its P45 and is working its notice while autumn settles in, so how about some Rocksteady Reggae Soul to help soothe us all on this Day of Rest?
A half hour mix of classic Rocksteady, with no chatter..

We've needed a bit of recuperation since the big launch of This Blue Earth, and are now gearing ourselves for getting out and about across the UK next year - we're doing most things ourselves, so does anyone have any good promoters in other cities they'd recommend!?

So finally getting to wrap our lugs around @theshipbuilders.bsky.social
2nd album after bagging one in Probe when we were in Liverpool. Here it is booming around the Piazza Sturzo, Sciacca, Sicily.

“I have more than one man deserves, on this blue earth”

Buy it. Grab the vinyl/CD/mp3, whatever. Support artists who self-release impeccable music like this. Spread peace & love not hate. And “never trust a man with a flagpole in his garden.” Or one who paints a curb or a roundabout either. ✊💚

It is incredible in every way. From the horns, to the artwork, to the amount of bass players 😜, to how the songs released on Matty’s 2 solo albums have now been made fully formed. Plus there’s Flagpole and La Dolce Vita, first heard way back 5 years ago during the lockdown live ‘Bunker Sessions’.

In a world which labels kindness as meekness
Never let it be said that compassion is a weakness
Do I run away to the sea of tranquility,
or try to stay afloat in this swamp of futility?

There are certain truths to be learned fast and hard..
