  • Description

    Rockers Revolt presents the brand new album from Maroon Town. Titled 'Urban Myths' it comes after an intense spell of recording with some of the brightest talents in London. This nine piece explosion of ska, rap and dub are world renowned for their sizzling collaborations. Tracks like 'Wreckless' with Eastend MC trio, the Wreckless Crew, and 'YaYa' - snapped up for the soundtracks of two major Hollywood blockbusters - are rousing urban anthems, while 'Lion', 'Are You Ready' and 'Latin Moshpit' are summertime barnstormers.

    Their 1988 debut single, 'City Riot', produced by The Specials drummer John Bradbury, immediately drew the attention of John Peel. Their second single, 'Pound to the Dollar', was cited by Record Mirror as "the most innovative single of the year�. The international world beckoned, taking Maroon Town to Brazil, India, Jamaica, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan, Sri Lanka, Venezuela, Argentina, Indonesia and all over Europe. From playing to 50 million viewers on Brazil’s top chatshow to jamming with the inmates of the high security Kingston prison in Jamaica. Maroon Town's politically charged and socially conscious sound delivers a joyous and vital antidote to the world we face today.
