The Skylight Crowd

There are bands out there that are on the cutting edge, breaking new ground and pushing musical boundaries. While The Skylight Crowd certainly wishes those bands luck, they definitely don’t fall into that category.

“If we’re really honest with ourselves, our sound is fundamentally based on the music we like,” smiles singer Keith Porter. “Bands like Counting Crows, Train and Hootie and the Blowfish are the reason we exist. We’ve been influenced by that genre for fifteen years, and now we’re creating music that would fit into that world.”

The Beatroots

There is more than one band with the name The Beatroots:
1) The Beatroots play roots rock reggae and hail from Southend-on-Sea, Essex. They have released one album, 'White Elephant', and have a large live following. 2) In the late 70’s Flashback began life, in Cardiff, as a Reggae/Funk outfit. With the early success of UB40 and the rise of Two-Tone, the decision was made to concentrate on Reggae, and the band's name was changed to The Beatroots to better reflect the new direction.
