The Bees put out gringo-funk stings of lush reggae, which is maybe not what you'd expect from a pair of middle class kids from the Isle of White who met at school.
And while they record as a duo, adept musicians, Paul Butler and Aaron Fletcher also have a full band with whom they're spreading the word of skunk skank.
Offering a beautiful album of spiritualised ska on Mark Jones' We Love You label, The Bee's are set to score with the new generation that's discovering live music again.
It's hip like The Strokes and Hives, and perfect for summer. Dope dub and narcotic nebulising Caribbean folk with an indie rock n roll overlay. Their chilled, but own crazy haircuts.
To this they add beautiful pianos, like the soundtrack Air put together for the 'Virgin Suicides'.
A definite 'grower', it's going to hit the radio like a Punchbag. Or something like that.
