This mischievous rabble from Lewisham have been causing mischief since school, spreading their contagious horn driven ska anthems across the UK and beyond. Chainska have set stages and faces alight at festivals and during recent ‘Grandslam’ tour support for Madness, and won the first ever World Reggae Contest at Ostroda festival in Poland which takes them to Jamaica in January to record their 2nd album at Harry J Studios.
The debut album, Skinna, dedicated to the band’s music teacher, John Skinner MBE, was recorded at The Yard in Ladbroke Grove and produced by Nick Manasseh.
“Real musicians, real band, real brass section… fabulous & so refreshing.” David Rodigan, BBC Radio 1xtra
