Jakal (2)

London based 5-piece project, Jakal play a feral mash-up of punk, ska, reggae and dub. Conscious lyrics, skanking beats and dirty riffs, usually keeps things pretty sweaty. And flabby. The first release was a 5 track EP titled Nation Infection, which was released back in 2003. The second release in 2006 is the 2 track single Utopia. Both were self-released and are now out of print. Utopia will be released again on the up and coming Tuneless Records compilation. Due to various changes to the line-up over the years there has been some rather patchy and inconsitent spells. However in 2009, with a batch of new songs and a firm and solid 5-piece line-up, they self-released their 12 track album Commmunity and will be recording again in the new year. All releases so far can be downloaded free on Jakal's Bandcamp page.
