TDIF Band Of The Week-The Beatdown

This week we present to you straight from America's hat, The Beatdown.  They are a recent discovery to us here at TDIF but Richard stumbled upon them while in Montreal a few weeks ago.  He brought the 12" over and we threw it on the ol' record playing machine and I was blown away.

They have a sound very similar to our one of our favorite bands, The Aggrolites, and it seems that they are trying to do the "dirty reggae" thing.  Trying may not be the right word because they are pulling it off and making it their own, I've been looking and hoping that more bands would pick up on that sound and appears that these Canadians have done it and done it well.

They are playing in Worcester on April 30th at Beatniks and unfortunately we won't be able to make that show, however we hope to see them in Boston over the summer and just maybe provide you with a chance to see them too.

Now Ladies and Germs feat thine ears and eyes on The Beatdown from Montreal, Quebec, we'll start it of with their amazing rendition of The Temptations hit 'Get Ready'...
