AKA The Syndicate & Sharp Class playing their original Ska & Mod tunes......AKA The Syndicate, are 7-piece band hailing from the various home counties around the South-East England and have been captivating audiences with their unique blend of genres - primarily ska and reggae since their formation in 2019. The band’s sound is characterized by soaring melodies, a powerful brass section, and a rhythm section that pulses with relentless energy. Their music often gives social commentary on everyday issues experienced by people living in Britain in the 21st century.
“They came onstage and launched straight into 'Two Sides of The City' which set the stall out for the night ahead. Infectious and catchy soul grooves were on offer. There must be a big interest in the band as the hall was already three quarters full” - Brighton and Hove News (On Bad Manners support, Concorde 2)
“A pop-tinged reggae album that brings to mind a wide variety of other bands, from Madness at their most successful to very early UB40, and maybe even a hint of No Doubt thrown in for good measure." - Scootering Magazine
SHARP CLASS
From the UK, Sharp Class are a British power trio consisting of Oliver Orton on guitar and lead vocals, Billy Woodfield on bass guitar and Declan Mills on the drums. Just as their name implies, the trio have a sharp image, one that gives the band its unique flair amongst a crowd. However, Sharp Class extend beyond looks and presentation. Their songs are grounded in realism and spattered with an English essence, while seamlessly merging the illustrious DNA of Punk, Soul, Power-Pop, Britpop and Rock n’ Roll. Though that is not enough, as a prominent magnetism within Sharp Class ensures that their live shows burst with enough energy to light up London.
Wherever Sharp Class go, they always deliver an exciting performance. In May 2023, the group travelled to New England to take part in a series of concerts. Their three-night run included shows in Rhode Island, Portland, and Somerville, each of which showcased the unparalleled dynamism of the trio to international audiences. Their performances were thoroughly enjoyed by all attendees, who were left enthralled by the band’s engaging and entertaining performance.
