'New Style Rocka' is the latest material from UK band Sonic Boom Six. This is the first piece that the band has written since their 2009 record City of Thieves.
The introduction to the song is provided by an infectious riff from the guest vocals of Tonn Piper. On this track, he brings a new and interesting dimension to the usual sound of SB6. The Manchester outfit have moved more towards their hip-hop roots, and away slightly from the ska and reggae style they are also accustomed to. However, front woman Laila Khan continues to deliver her characteristic upbeat vocal squeaks. The chorus has a cheesy and pop-like feel to it, while the verses allow Barney Boom the freedom to express his influence on the hit. Though the chorus might not be welcome to SB6 purists, it’s one that is sure to get the crowd singing along in live performances. Piper brings a jungle type feel to the record, a style that you would expect to hear from an MC at a drum and bass/dubstep rave. This particular collaboration seems to have to worked on this track, and could be something that the Boom could look at doing again in the future.
In addition to this tune, Sunny Side of The Street is one which is strongly rumoured to be released in the near future as a single for their upcoming album.
New Style Rocka is to be released on March 28th, and you can check out the brand new video below!
