Pama International

We are delighted to announce that we have signed the Bristol sensation known as BABYHEAD to our Rockers Revolt label

Born out of love for Jamacian sound clash, forged through a do it yourself punkrock ethic and delivered with a raw hip hop swagger, the unstoppable Babyhead sound is drawn from all quarters of the musical universe, in true Bristol fashion.  They have been a live phenomenon in the clubs and on the festival circuit, for a decade plus, rocking stages from Glastonbury to Fabric and attracting onstage collaborations from Ozomatli, Rodney P, Alice Russell, scores of children, transvestites and a three legged one eyed dog!

Keith Allen called them “bastard child of Ian Dury and Iggy pop”  while the legendary Toots Hibbert himself proclaimed the band “Irie, despite their beards and suits”.
