The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the Day: SKAugust


The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, "Simmer Down" from the Ska-Core, the Devil, and More E.P. (Rude Boy Mike Papa Whiskey)

Skammentary: "Simmer Down" was the number one single in Jamaica in February 1964, the first single by The Wailers, featuring The Skatalites. This cover is from 1993, & was at the time quite a different sound for the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, who in their early years were highly influenced by hard rock, even heavy metal.
