Zegema Beach EP
Zegema Beach (a
reference to Starship
Troopers) play a
smooth mixture of
reggae and dub with
a rockier edge very
similar to The Skints.
This fantastic demo
consists of two studio
tracks and a well
recorded live track
and throws memories
of festivals and all this
summery round my
skull like a whirlwind.
Within the first few
seconds of track 1,
Y’all, the lead guitar
which sounds at times
reminiscent of Duane
Eddy brought the sun
out from hiding and
forced the rain clouds
away. The beautiful
female backing vocal
perfectly harmonises
with the strong ‘in
your face’ lead male
vocal and continues
to pour like ice cream
throughout People,
Don’t! which sports the
bands rockier side.
The final live recording
of Thinking found me
reaching out to the
world wide web as I
found a need to see
this band live and
dance like an idiot to
try and prolong this
summer.
The sun has got his
hat on down a Zegema
Beach, time for a
holiday.
