Packed with grooving drumbeats and the infectious energy of two-tone ska, \u201cFloor Burner\u201d is the first taste of the collective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The group shared, <em>\u201c\u2019Floor Burner\u2019 is the blueprint for THE FAMILY BUSINESS LTD. It was pieced together from three separate ideas and evolved into this pure party-starter. The whole point is simple: get on the floor and dance.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>THE FAMILY BUSINESS LTD joins <strong>Jordan Cardy<\/strong> (RAT BOY), <strong>Preston<\/strong> (The Ordinary Boys), and <strong>Antonee First Class<\/strong> (The English Beat), with Operation Ivy\u2019s Tim Armstrong and Jesse Michaels as additional creative collaborators. Bringing together multiple generations of ska, the collective combines Cardy\u2019s genre-blurring energy, Preston&#8217;s 2000s UK ska revivalist spirit, and the legendary two-tone lineage of toaster Antonee First Class. Representing a unique cross-section of ska&#8217;s evolution, Antonee shares that his excitement came from <em>\u201cthe opportunity to bridge the gap between generations, bringing together people who came to ska from different places.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cardy and Preston first met in Essex in 2014, and in 2023 ended up in Los Angeles writing together with Tim. \u201c<em>Everything clicked straight away in the studio, and the songs came together so naturally. Tim suggested bringing in Antonee, and before we knew it, the album was written and recorded in two weeks,\u201d <\/em>shares Cardy. They also brought fellow two-tone ska labelmates The Calamatix to back, \u201c<em>They really made everything feel like a proper band. They brought so much energy to the record, especially through the rhythm section and bass lines, helping round out the sound in a way that elevated every song.\u201d &nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originating from the late-70s ska revival, two-tone embraced the danceable rhythms of Jamaican ska with the attitude and aggression of punk rock. Two-tone earned its name from The Specials\u2019 Jerry Dammers label, 2 Tone Records, referencing the multiracial makeup of second-wave ska groups and their fanbases. While retaining Jamaican ska\u2019s \u201cskanking rhythms\u201d and horn lines, two-tone blended socially conscious lyrics and propulsive Reggae bass lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On \u201cA.S.B.O.,\u201d rich horns and Antonee\u2019s signature toasting underscore commentary on crime and mental health, while \u201cDetonator\u201d is a burst of high-energy escapism. T<a>hroughout the <\/a>album, the trio balances the bright, bouncy melodies of Jamaican ska on tracks like \u201cStill a Jamaican\u201d with the two-tone punk commentary of the sharp, up-tempo \u201cShakedown.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To the collective, ska remains one of music\u2019s most enduring cultures, with Antonee stating, <em>\u201cSka and two-tone doesn&#8217;t discriminate. The message of peace, love, unity, and standing together is just as relevant today as it was decades ago. The weather might have changed, but the struggles people are singing about haven&#8217;t.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>FOLLOW THE FAMILY BUSINESS LTD<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thefamilybusinessltd\/\">Instagram<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@THEFAMILYBUSINESSLTD\">YouTube<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/epita.ph\/4pJVxlw\">Spotify<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SKA COLLECTIVE THE FAMILY BUSINESS LTD SHARE FIRST SINGLE \u201cFLOOR BURNER\u201d DEBUT ALBUM THE FAMILY BUSINESS LTD OUT SEPTEMBER 25FEATURING JORDAN CARDY, PRESTON, AND ANTONEE FIRST CLASS Ska collective THE FAMILY BUSINESS LTD shares \u201cFloor Burner,\u201d the explosive first single from their debut self-titled album,out September 25 on Hellcat Records.
