"Hard Times" is the opening track of the The Unlimiters debut album coming October 15 2010 on Highscore – reflecting difficult times in a cheerful fashion, because the "hard times gonna pass you by".
The eight-piece set from Berlin is largely inspired by early Ska, a style of music created at the beginning of the 1960s when Calypso merged with Jazz and Rhythm in Blues to form a unique and home-grown Jamaican sound that is still exemplified by unforgettable artists such as The Skatalites and Prince Buster.
The Unlimiters: eight people, eight-and-a-half instruments – teamed up in Berlin’s underground to unleash their smart and bouncing beats and harmonies to the dancefloor – probably right in your neighbourhood, so watch out!
