The Owls - Two Tone Summer / Skandal

Scottish newcomers, The Owls, break cover with this double sided slice of irresistible 21st Century Ska Pop. Two Tone Summer is an unforgettable love letter to the iconic 2-Tone movement of the late 70's and 80's, with an underlying lament at the parallels of racism, inequality, misery and social isolation which are as prevalent today as they were during the birth of the original 2-Tone movement.

The flip side, Skandal, is an acerbic Pop gem with timeless melodies and a lyric poking fun at the transparent strategy of misinformation and half truth disseminated by TV and Media to promote division and protect the establishment status quo, no matter how corrupt, and no matter how many scandals are eventually uncovered. Surely any song that has the line whatever happened to the sweaty Prince? has earned its place in your record collection?
