We are here to nice up your ears, busting out at fore front of the UK ska scene. Our band style draws on the two tone spirit without imitating the two tone sound or image, concentrating instead on the rhythms of original Jamaican ska and reggae/dub but with a contemporary British feel reflecting the good times and the hard times of modern life.
We are a talented bunch and attract a wide range of fans. We are energetic and a consistently impressive live band who can get a corpse moving on their feet.
Our faces have been seen and music has been heard and loved all over Britain, Ireland, Holland and Belgium.
We have received airplay on radio one's "The Lock Up"
for several weeks running.
We have so far released Three albums and one single. first two were on our own label "blue line order" and most recent was recorded with the respected UK ska label "Do the Dog music".
WE HAVE NOW RELEASED OUR STOP THE CLOCK SINGLE ON RED 12" VINYL AND SINGLE CD. GET YOUR NOW....

REVIEWS of GOOD TIME TROUBLE:
“They say all good things are worth waiting for and this album only confirms it. Do The Dog have built up a awesome reputation of only having the best on their label and this album by the Splitters is no different. The album kicks off with ..Reject The Guilt.. and its just briliant Ska with a modern feel. There..s some great songs such as ..Out On The Border.. and ..Babylon Rocket.. on here and this album made me feel like getting my DM..s and Ben Shermans out the Cupboard and having a great stomp. There..s not one filler on here and production wise this album is spot on.”

”Adding weight to the argument that says Do The Dog is the most consistently impressive UK label at the moment is 'Good Time Trouble', the new album from Leicester's ska mob. Taking a more trad route compared to Duff Muffin's ska-punk frenzy or Smoke Like A Fish's more 2-tone vibe, this is a solid album that manages to sit flush with DTD's apparent desire to both update and resurrect the ska scene.
'Blurred TV' and 'Out On The Border' glide along with the urgency of a cloud, and with an irresistible charm that colours the whole album. 'Good Time Trouble' is a very understated collection of songs that seeps under your skin, partially because I'm a ska fan anyway but mainly because it's so well constructed. 'Blurred TV' in particular slips by in a fug of purple smoke, smooth enough to banish even the greyest of moods and as such succeeds in being one of the most effective tracks on display. There seems to be no danger in the world of The Splitters, it's all a case of getting on with everything in its own rhythm – when 'Work Faster' picks up the pace the effortless laid-back vibe still anchors the song.
Could this album tempt a non-adorer of ska? Perhaps. When I mentioned earlier that 'Good Time Trouble' was well-constructed it's a facet of the album that only becomes obvious after repeated listening, because the brass is utilised so effectively that it's easy to take the music as a whole without realising when new sounds are introduced. What this suggests is that The Splitters are so accomplished at playing this brand of ska that they're able to get on with it subtly and not have to resort to the cheap tricks of a band that hasn't yet found their sound.
Obviously, as an album, it could be seen as being a touch repetitive, most noticeably on 'Stolen Receiver'. It's not a poor song but doesn't have the same punch as the rest of what's on offer here, and breaks the tone of 'Good Time Trouble' by raising the tempo without adding any really effective moments. This is a fine trad-ska album, and one that could win them some new fans, as long as they're open minded enough to give it a chance. Or, to paraphrase, if you like the odd smoke, you really should get this.”

The Splitters Good Time Trouble
Second album of The Splitters released by Do The Dog Music. Originating from Leicester, England, The Splitters are one of the most popular bands of their kind in Great Britain. Their new disc condenses a skillful mixture of upbeat trad ska and heavy reggae with a certain dose of punk attitude.

The Splitters - Good Time Trouble
(Do the Dog Music)
I think I first set eyes on the Splitters at a small scooter rally in the 90s. They impressed me back then by how they managed to pack a dance floor and keep it full. This seven-piece ska band from Leicester release their third album, Good Time Trouble, and it’s a bit of a cracker. 11 tracks in total, all self-penned (with some good lyrics I must add), a mixture of upbeat skankers (the opener Reject the Guilt for example and Work Faster) to some good reggae (such as the second tune Blurred TV or Out on the Border). Probably more slower reggae-style numbers on this particular CD than some dancers would like, but the Splitters’ take on the infectious off-beat does hark close to the 60s sound at times, yet with a unique modern day twist, feel and technology. Hard to pigeonhole, which is a good thing. I like.

NEW TOWN KINGS - Back by popular demand this 9 piece bring their infectious and energetic brand of 2Tone, ska, reggae and dub back for a triumphant return to the Man on the Moon. Since releasing their debut album “Sound Of The New Town” on Do The Dog records the band have had gig and festival crowds across the UK begging for more. With a new studio recording in the pipeline, the future promises to be bright for the New Town Kings. http://www.myspace.com/newtownkings
RESOLUTION 242 - Their debut CD out on Do the Dog Records has had some great reviews and secured them airplay on Radio One’s “The Lock Up”. Resolution 242 have shared the stage with the likes of Inner Terrestrials and King Blues and played the Rebellion Festival in 2009. They sound great and they’ve got plenty say. They don’t claim to have the answers, but aim to raise awareness about important issues that they think need attention and debate, in the only medium they can… music…so get involved and enjoy! http://www.myspace.com/resolution242
CAPTAIN BLACK NO STARS - This Norfolk reggae collective have come a long way in short time, gaining fans across the region with their unique sound inspired by both the Trojan / 2Tone sounds and UK Punk rock.

They kick off proceedings as the first of 3 Do The Dog bands that will have you skanking all night!http://www.myspace.com/captainblacknostars
