How can a song about busting your leg be so infectious? Maybe because it was written highly medicated on a hospital bed? "Skankers Knee" is about to enter medical journals through out the dance scene world. A true story about an ill fated all day session that ends with Sam Thornton aka King Zepha needing medical attention.
Clocking in under two minutes, this is a party banger that wastes no time, and still manages to fit in a heavyweight brass’n’organ breakdown.
For lovers of The Specials, Bosstones and Bad Manners, this could be the anthem of ska fans of a certain age who really should know better. 🏁🏁🏁
