London based alt-ska collective Imperial Leisure have been unleashing their blend of brass and brash for fifteen years. Having release only two albums in that time, they are now set to add to their catalogue with the release of ‘Razzle Dazzle’ – a four track EP of their most accomplished music to date.
Having started the year on tour with King Prawn, ‘Razzle Dazzle’ takes the ska elements and infuses them with a distinctly British hip-hop influence – welcoming similarities to the likes of Sonic Boom Six, yet without the recent electronic additions by the Manchester based five-piece.
‘Razzle Dazzle’ will be released via FXD Records on the 17th November 2014. As the band gear up for a short tour in support of the record, you can stream the four new tracks exclusively below.
