Maroon Town - Urban Myths

Maroon Town came from an era of late 80's ska scene or post 2Tone as we know it. Along with label mates The Hotknives, The Loafers, The Riffs and contemporaries such as The Braces have a sound of their own inspired by others. One of London's finest still going strong. it has been more than 14 years I think since the last album release. Urban Myths released thru Pama International proves that Maroon Town has not lost it's touch. If your not familiar with their sound - take traditional ska with a hint of 2Tone and a bit of toasting and Latin grooves. really effective. My favorite tracks - Ya Ya (Let Me tell Them), Wrekcless revisits Goodbye to the Empire from their 1989 EP "Pound to he Dollar" and Bullit skaing it straight just like The Skatalites would. You know the drill. Play this loud!
