What happens when Jamaican Roots Rock Reggae meets East Coast Punk Rock? ...... Barry and the Penetrators.
12 years, hundreds of epic shows, and the only band to host "Pimps n Hos" concerts at the infamous Centerfolds Gentelmans club.... the Penetrators are at it again. Summer 2011 shows no signs of slowing down for the band that has garnered honors at no less than the past four Asbury Park Music Awards ceremonies. They've got a 4th album to press, fans to please, and they're in the studio rippin' it up now.
It's lifestyle music, pure and simple. Surf by day, cruisin' rat rods when it's flat, partying into the night, and embracing every minute of it. The Penetrators invite you to experience their patented blend of musical craftsmanship touched with a good dose of ass-kicking energy. They place a high emphasis on live and recorded material, to the delight of an ever-growing fan base hungry for more Penetrators. Having shared the stage with the likes of Bouncing Souls, The Descendents, Face to Face, Dick Dale, Culture, Third World, Burning Spear, Eek-A-Mouse, Pepper, Skunk Records' Slightly Stoopid, and the legendary Wailers, Barry and his crew of kinetically charged musicians take you for one hell of a ride.
But it's about more than the music. Supporting causes as diverse as ocean pollution and cancer research are as much a part of this bands repertoire as tearing the roof off any room they play. The Penetrators have continued the sometimes forgotten art of playing to each and every fan. An active street team, thoughtfully produced concert artwork, and dedication to their fans has the masses coming back time and time again. They wouldn't have it any other way.
Barry and the Penetrators may rock you. They may soothe you or entice you to riot. But they will always surprise you. Their latest album, not yet titled, is due to be released in late Spring. Until then, don't miss a chance to see the band that grew up in Springsteens' backyard but decided to punk it up, dub it up, and skank it up, rock-Rasta style.
