THE PRIZEFIGHTERS (USA)

The Prizefighters keep the sound of 60′s Jamaica alive and loud in the Twin Cities. Traditional ska, rocksteady, early reggae and sweet soul music is the name of the game, and the Prizefighters play to win.
Holding it down since 2006, The Prizefighters breathe life into an often overlooked genre of music, picking up where essential Jamaican groups like the Skatalites and the Upsetters left off.

From Jump Up! Records:
“Follow My Sound” is the debut full-length release from THE PRIZEFIGHTERS, who’ve been at the top of the Minnesota ska scene for the past 5 years, playing their brand of soul infused ska and skinhead / early reggae.

A 6-piece band featuring saxophone, trombone, and organ supplementing the guitars and drums, THE PRIZEFIGHTERS are truly one of the up-and-comers on the US scene. A band that combines heavy soul with real 60s Jamaican ska and early reggae, a must for fans of DEAL’S GONE BAD, AGGROLITES, THE SLACKERS, MOON INVADERS or THE SOULSTEPPERS.
