 dicate\n“AKA The Syndicate are a collective of musicians from various ba
 nds. They released their self-titled debut album\, full of original ska\, 
 reggae and punk influenced music and even featured Specials legend Roddy R
 adiation playing guitar! One song stood out\, capturing the zeitgeist of t
 he times. In response\, the group pieced together a remote music video\, a
 n anthem of isolation titled 'Hands Up (Who's Coming With Me?)'. This mark
 ed AKA The Syndicate's unanticipated debut\, capturing attention with a DI
 Y video that garnered thousands of views and likes across social media. Fo
 llowing this triumph\, the sequel\, 'Two Sides Of The City' with Laura Bet
 ts taking lead vocals\, was unveiled in March 2021\, amassing hundreds of 
 thousands of views on various social platforms. AKA The Syndicate had made
  their grand entrance and showed no signs of fading. Their debut album was
  described by Scootering Magazine as “A pop-tinged reggae album that bri
 ngs to mind a wide variety of other bands\, from Madness at their most suc
 cessful to very early UB40\, and maybe even a hint of No Doubt thrown in f
 or good measure." They are also getting great reviews as a live band too. 
 “They came onstage and launched straight into 'Two Sides of The City' wh
 ich set the stall out for the night ahead. Infectious and catchy soul groo
 ves were on offer. There must be a big interest in the band as the hall wa
 s already three quarters full” - Brighton and Hove News (On Bad Manners 
 support\, Concorde 2) AKA The Syndicate are definitely a band to go and se
 e!”\n\nPlus Dj Lord Gregory
