The dynamic 10-piece outfit have been making waves in the ska scene with their unique sound and energetic performances for years, and their growing, diverse fanbase is a testament to their inventive music which combines unexpected arrangements and captivating harmonies.

Front-man Mick Hughes shares "I was lucky enough to collaborate with my good friend Asher Chapman (Bearfoot) in writing this upbeat 2Tone ska inspired tune. It's a happy, joyful tune that gives a nod to (but doesn't name) a very special Sunshine Coast venue, "right by the corner on Ocean Street" where we have had many very memorable shows."

"As a band, we like to put on a 'show', more than just a gig, we're well known for our onstage antics that will often see our 9 piece horn section end up playing a tune on the dancefloor amongst the audience. Big energy, big fun, happy vibes! It's the Sunny Coast Rude Boys way!”

It’s a massive dub-soaked 2tone skanking attack from this collab between The Sunny Coast Rude Boys and Asher Chapman (Asher Beau/Bearfoot). Unwavering ska, with a relentlessly fun horn attack the Rude Boys have become known for, and frontman Mick Hughes utilising Asher’s lyrically old school reggae nods and arrangement to full extent. You better have done your stretches before this track gets pulled out in their live sets, or it’ll wreck ya dead in the best of ways.

Now, with a host of achievements under their belts, including sharing the stage with The Original Wailers, Bad Manners, The Allniters, Strange Tenants, Nicky Bomba and Death of Guitar Pop, headlining a string of festivals, and getting crowds jumping at sold-out gigs across the country with their expansive catalogue of original music and classic covers, the band is now preparing for their biggest year yet.
