Fronted by the enigmatic Tony Montana and featuring a phenomenal brass section, Ska Face pack a punch from the first note. With a rhythm section and lead licks that compliment the music perfectly. With a following in excess of 12K on their social media channels they bring the party to the masses, from the young to the old their infectious Ska groove is guaranteed to get the venue bouncing.
The legendary late Rico Rodriguez (Bob Marley, & The Wailers, The Specials, Jools Holland Orchestra) praised the “heavy riddim section” when first performing with the guys back in 2011. Founder of The Specials and 2 Tone Records Jerry Dammers was highly impressed with the energy and authenticity of the Ska Face performance when he joined them for a gig June 2013 saying he had not seen such energy since the early days of The Specials. Guitarist Roddy ‘Radiation’ Byers has accompanied the boys on stage regularly since 2011.
The band have also performed alongside many of their 2 Tone idols on a number of occasions including Pauline Black’s The Selecter, Bad Manners, The Beat, The Neville Staple Band, UB40, Toyah and The Wonder Stuff as well as playing alongside many of the idols of their youth.
