Back2Human presents: Cartoon Violence, Stick A Bush

Cartoon Violence (UK) - Britpop Twotone

Cartoon Violence are one of the fastest rising talents on the current UK ska scene. Hailing from the wilds of Mid Wales, they are fronted by the formidable vocalist and piano/organ player, Chuzz; whose unique stage presence builds upon soaring vocals, skanking piano and crazy Hammond lines. He's played with a plethora of Ska artists, from Neol Davies to The Toasters.

The Cartoon Violence sound is an insanely catchy affair that mixes super bouncy 2 tone ska with distinctly British sounding pop & indie stylings. Their songs capture the classic Brit Pop storytelling vibe of the likes of The Kinks, Madness, Squeeze, The Hotknives & Parklife-era Blur, with each tune lyrically being like a mini kitchen sink drama in its own right! Endless soaring energy, great sing-a-long choruses & wonderful piano/organ melodies are all hallmarks of the band's unique ska sound.

Cartoon Violence have since spread their wings further afield with their stunning second album, titled "Tit For Tat", and released across Europe by Rocking Records, in the USA by Megalith Records & in Australia by Care Factor Records, as well as in the UK by Do The Dog Music. Now their eagerly awaited third album is in its final stages and the pre-release singles/videos “Serpico” and “Much Ado About Nothing” have already piqued their fans appetite. With tour dates building up, 2018 looks to be a very exciting year for Cartoon Violence.

Stick A Bush (AT) - Reggae

Stick A Bush ist eine Newcomer Reggae/Dub Formation aus Wien, welche im Jahr 2019 von einer Melange aus deutschen und österreichischen Musikern gegründet wurde. Verbunden durch die Liebe zur jamaikanischen Off-Beat Musik fahren wir ein fettes musikalisches Menü auf: erdiger Roots-Reggae wird hier ergänzt durch Jazzelemente, welche ihren Ausdruck in starken Soli und im improvisativen Interplay bei ausgedehnten Dub-Parts finden. Auf die Bühne kommen dabei natürlich sowohl Eigenkompositionen als auch eine feine Auswahl an Reggae-Klassikern. Das Ganze wird präsentiert von einer tighten Rhythm-Section, knackigem Bläsersatz und mehrstimmigem Gesang - wummernde Basslines und uplifting Vibes sind garantiert.
