Happy Skalloween! Drop the needle on "Devolution"—our 4th release of 2026! We deconstructed our song "Revolution" into a heavy, spatial dub track with fresh riddims, spacey melodica, & soaring sax solos.

Here's our challenge for you this weekend: Put on your best headphones (or blast it in the car) and listen closely. Can you spot all 8 instrumental parts on The Ascent?

Help us welcome saxophonist Jeff DeLisle to the band! Hailing from New England, Jeff’s straight-laced origins make the perfect cover for a proper subversive approach to life and art. Psychiatrist by day, Jeff spends his off-hours as a painter, poet, and musical mercenary.

On Friday, August 7, we are dropping "The Ascent." It's our third brand-new single of 2026, but instead of the usual vocal-driven ska music, "The Ascent" is a sonic pivot: a dense, jazz-heavy, 8-piece instrumental built specifically for immersive headphone listening.

Tomorrow's a BIG day for us! Our new song, Anthem, hits all the streaming services and we play The International Food Festival in Raleigh, NC. It's also Dan's last show with the band and Ben's first. Come party with us downtown at 3pm!

Now available on Bandcamp! Sound System Seven's second single of 2026, Anthem! A bit edgier than our usual stuff, a little angry, and definitely more aggressive, but don't worry, it's still 100% ska.

BIG NEWS! Welcome keyboardist Mike Francis to the band! Whether he's dropping a soulful Hammond swell or a rhythmic percussive chop, Mike adds an upper crust level of texture to the 4th Wave. Proper, innit?

We're sad that Sound System Radio will go dark and quiet on Friday. Our mate KevC archives his shows on Soundcloud: mixcloud.com/KevC_skaradio_u…
Special thanks to Paul Shaw for envisioning and building Sound System Radio. We had a blast as long as it lasted!
