Press Release :
Seven-piece Brighton-based collective, King Porter Stomp, are as infamous for their finely tuned kaleidoscopic fusion of funk, ska, hip-hop and afro-beats, as they are for their eclectic and energetic live performances. Coming together in the Sussex seaside town in 2006, the band fronted by MC Jonezy, employ a wide repertoire of slick contemporary toasting (MCing). Backed up by soaring brass, heavy bass and infectious melodies, which have all helped establish KPS as major players on the UK live circuit.
The band have performed at a string of legendary festivals in the UK and abroad including Glastonbury, The Big Chill and Secret Garden Party, and embarked on their first UK tour in 2010, playing major venues as well as spreading their politically conscious message via lively impromptu street busking in city centres en route.

Having recently provided the music for a 12-show run of a brand new play at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre on London’s South Bank, garnering critical acclaim from the likes of The Independent On Sunday, Financial Times and Evening Standard, King Porter Stomp prepare to deploy their laid-back, rocksteady track Let it All Out in limited edition 6-track EP format. Frustrated by the daily grind of social expectations, lyricist, Jonezy explains where much of the influence for writing Let it All Out came from: “Let it All Out is about keeping your inspiration alive and doing your thing how you want to do it, no matter how the times or people around you are telling you it should be done. It's about finding that inspiration, keeping it safe and using that strength and energy to just let it all out”.

Skillfully inducing poignant rhymes with a sense of calm, and in an authentically English manner, it’s not until Jonezy’s mellow rap is met with languorous horns, heavily plucked bass and skittering drums on Let it All Out that this ensemble are at their best. This limited edition EP also features bonus tracks Hot Coals and Breathless, together with the dub and accapella versions of Let It All Out, and Joller’s blissed-out dub step take on Hot Coals. KPS conjure up a refreshing modern take on their Two-Tone predecessors The Beat and The Specials, while instilling their place in line with their ska big-band contemporaries Fat Freddy’s Drop and Hepcat.
