Nubiyan Twist Deliver Their Ska-Fused Track ‘Headhunter’

Whilst there have been a number of bands to try to recreate the sound of ska and afrobeat, Leeds band Nubiyan Twist have done it well...extremely well. In 2015, they released their self-titled debut album which garnished support from the likes of David Rodigan and Huey Morgan, just to name a few. With their forthcoming EP 'Siren Song' scheduled to land May 27th on Wormfood Records, the 12 piece band now unveil their new track 'Headhunter'. Heavy-hitting with a roundhouse kick of ska, the festive song is an instant warmer, giving more credibility to the idea that Nubiyan Twist are one of the best to do it in these modern times.
