The Ska Legends The Kubricks are back in Chelmsford for our Friday Night IVW 2025 show!
Based in London, The Kubricks are a seven-piece band that seamlessly blends ska, reggae, and irresistibly catchy melodic pop.
Produced by Toby Davies of Gentleman’s Dub Club, the band’s debut album, ‘The Heist’, dropped in 2017. The UK’s longest-running skazine, Do The Dog, dubbed it, “A very strong contender for album of the year,” while Bucketlist in Canada described it as, “A gem of an album that makes ska and reggae seem like a perfect fit with 21st-century musical trends.” Tom Robinson (6Music) immediately shared the track ‘Down With the Dogs’ with his listeners, and BBC Introducing in Essex invited the band for a live session.
After completing two autumn UK tours and securing a publishing deal with Wipe Out Music, The Kubricks unveiled their latest album, ‘Between Antipodes’, in December 2022. Representing their most ska-pop record to date, the album was produced by Tom Donovan, a producer and musician from the hip-hop act Monster Florence.
They’ve played to tens of thousands at notable events such as the Isle of Wight Festival, Kendal Calling, Green Man, Shambala, Boomtown Fair, Bearded Theory’s Spring Gathering, Godiva, Weinturm Open Air (Germany), Lott Festival (Germany), Zik ‘n’ Roll (France), Dance Ska La (France), and The London International Ska Festival, among many others.
