Sounds Like
Sounds like two tone ska with a little bit of the clash, musical politics with a huge dash of humour.
Please understand.THE OLIVE BRANCH.is not a working band at the moment,it is an idea in its infancy a dream,by my self to have my music heard,I am working hard to get a band together, so the songs can be heard live.All songs on the player at tne moment are performed by friends and session musician's..2010 will be the year of the olive(I hope)
15 DEMO SONGS IN THE BAG...all songs written by Phil Todhunter..The songs on the player are ruff stones, please dont be too harsh with your judgement,,all songs will be reworked sometime in the near future..there's tons of material to lay to rest...DEBUT EP LATE JULY....SKA MUSIC TO SKANK AND MAKE YOU THINK...About me:
My first love was SKA, I remember my first,Specials and THE beat singles.Do nothing and Too nice to talk to.I must have played them till the stylus was knackered, I still havent stop playing them .My wife tells me Im in an 80's timewarp,but you cant help what you love and that will never change,Ive already designed my coffin,,2 tone colours of course with the cover of I JUST CANT STOP IT..I starrted writeing songs when I was 15,first recorded my first song..LOVE IS JUST A YO-YO..when I was 18..recorded 16 tracks over the decades, not the amount I wanted to but its not cheap and my priority was my family now they can use a microwave and ring the kebab shop themselves its time for me to get my SKA project back on track Sleeping rude boy, kids old enough to look after themselves now, I can get my music and writeing back on track,Ive been sleeping for 18 years.I love all types of ska and want to write songs for as many bands as possible. Im looking for muscians and singers,to rerecord tracks I layed down years ago....
