Introducing: Union Jack

We love Union Jack at Three Basics. I mean whats there not to love in their sonic boom blasts of energetic, spirited ska infused punk?

Union Jack formed in 1997 in the surburbs of Paris. It was a typical three piece band whose muscial influences included The Ramones, The Clash and the Damned. Lyrically these punk rock activists litter their music with issues inclusing friendship, enviromentalism, hatred, poverty and mediocrity. And musically they channel that dirty ska, ‘crackrocksteady’ vibe. Union jack refer to their musical stylings as “Bad Ska”.

Union Jack released their first album in 2001, ‘Yellin in my ear’. Subsequent musical offerings appeared, and now in 2009, we have the brand, shiny new album, ‘Tales of urban freedom’. The band worked on the record with DJ Low Cut. The new album is released on the bands own DIY label effort, Beer Records.

And although we believe it’s a good thing to support bands by buying theer cds, here is a link to downloading some Unions Jack tunes. Just make sure you go and buy them a pint to say thanks!

Click me because I link you to happiness.
