Manchester’s the Real Ink have a new tune hitting the streets tomorrow and it is staggeringly good, it is called “Boi” The bands PR blurb says that they are a melting pot of Funk, Reggae, Jazz and Ska. That is definitely true but I hear a very definite British twist on that multi genre attack. The brass is as quirky and funky as PigBag and Molly’s vocals have their roots in X Ray Spex and the Slits with extra added soul. While you wait for “Boi” which frankly will walk into almost anyone’s single of the week category check out their other stuff on SoundCloud along with the rather spiffing silent disco style video for “Mud” The Real Ink will be around for a long while on this showing and they are definitely on my list of bands that I need to see live! Apologies for the dreadful pun, but Molly Hall, Joseph Fountain, Fynn Birch, Gabe Burke and Aron Mather known collectively as the Real Ink will be indelible in the music world!
