Punky Reggae Party #2 - 5pm, Sat 16th May, Bedford Esquires

Following the inaugural PUNKY REGGAE PARTY in Autumn 2025 we have decided to make this event a regular fixture.
The first announce from the second edition is looking like this:
KARL PHILLIPS & THE REJECTS
A completely original mashup of ska, punk & grime with a hip-hop nod at luminaries like The Clash, The Specials & Mike Skinner. Karl's refreshingly honest lyrics test the boundaries of the human mind and the English etiquette, coming from a place most people can relate to but never dared to mention!
New single 'Plastic Gangsta' got its Exclusive first play by Hugh Stephens on BBC Radio 1! Over the last few years Karl Phillips & The Rejects have supported or toured with Rudimental, Chase & Status, Example, Dub Pistols, The King Blues, Sonic Boom 6, Gentlemans Dub Club, Imperial Leisure, The Neville Staple Band, Dreadzone & Alabama 3! Headlined festival stages including boomtown fair! And had air time on numerous BBC Introducing shows, including BBC 6 Music!
FACE UP !
FACE UP! is a five-piece hardcore punk band from the West Midlands, England, active since 2016 and known for high-energy live shows. They deliver loud, aggressive music blending punk rock with metal influences, often featuring urgent, rebellious vocals, piercing guitar riffs, and driving percussion. They are a fixture in the UK punk scene, having played festivals like Rebellion.
EASYDREAD
Fresh from their own headline show to launch their new album "Sound of the Uprising" Easydread the genre-blending force from Bedfordshire, fusing ska, reggae, punk, and rock into a high-energy sound built for movement and unity are back to get the party started !
