Bim Skala Bim's Boston Blue Beat is a mix of upbeat 2 tone ska, alt-rock, calypso and reggae, the key to their signature sound is an unchanged line up since formation in 1986. Their brand new album Sonic Tonic is a true return to form, proving once again why they are one of America's premier bands responsible for kickstarting ska's third wave in the 1990s. Sonic Tonic contains nine new songs with special guest appearances by Dave Hillyard (The Slackers), Chris Rhodes (The Mighty Mighty Bosstones), Nick Welsh (aka King Hammond), Ken Stewart (The Skatalites), and Steve Cracknell (The Dub Pistols). Sonic Tonic contemplates life and the human condition, the album's themes include multiculturalism ( Gumbo ), illicit drinking ( Lighting ), personal wellbeing ( The Loon ), age ( Go Back ), and travel ( Cuz A U').TracklistGo BackToo SentimentalCuz A YouLoonLightningGumboEasy SkankingIt's A Mix Of ThingsNightboat To Monkville
