Dancehall

Few bands are as capable of being as direct and effective as Dancehall.

The London/Kent-based trio who formed in 2016, run on a mix of egoless ambition which has seen the band relentlessly self-release a collection of singles bristling with distorted energy via cassette tapes and 7" records on their own Vibe/Anti-Vibe label.

Debut 7" single Vs & Gs documented their anxious presence in the capital, rejecting thick slick adverts in favour of escape, with lead singer Timothy screaming “I'm ready/To blow!” over the thumping verge of a panic attack.
