Celebrating 22 years of ska and reggae in 2010!! Bigger Thomas continues to keep crowds moving and grooving to



their patented version of reggae ska that includes a heavy dose of traditional and 2-Tone ska thrown in for



good measure.



The band reflects the cultural diversity of the city they call home with members who have roots in the NYC



metropolitan area as well as Haiti, Jamaica and the UK. Best known for their upbeat ska-pop song "Ska in My



Pocket" they now play a diverse style encompassing ska, reggae, calypso, punk, african and latin rythyms.



They have had the pleasure of performing alongside the English Beat, Colin Hay of Men At Work, Pato Banton,



Jimmy Cliff, Yellowman, Burning Spear, Bad Manners, The Selecter, Special Beat, De La Soul, Bim Skala Bim, The



Alarm and The Toasters.



The band will release their new 10-song album 'Steal My Sound' as a digital download and on CD in May 2010.



The album was recorded at Version City Studios and produced/mixed by King Django. The art work was designed by



John 'Teflon' Sims who helped to design album covers and art work for The Specials, The Selecter and other 2-



Tone bands. The band's other albums 'We Wear The Mask', 'Resisting Success' and "Bigger Thomas" a CD/DVD



reissue of their first out-of-print LP are also available online at itunes.com and CD Baby.



Below are promo videos for 'Crown Victoria' and 'Shamokin' taken from 'Steal My Sound'.
