This weeks podcast guest is Sam Parry and Alasdair Simpson from XMenBTeam. XMenBTeam is a 6-piece dub rock monstrosity brought to you from the musical melting pot of Manchester. Channeling influences from The Specials to Rage Against the Machine, via Jurassic 5, this band always leaves a lasting impression with their high-octane live show. ‘The BTeam’ have performed nationwide as well as abroad and are particularly at home in front of a festival audience. Notable appearances include Soundwave, Boomtown, Kendal Calling and Moovin, giving the band the opportunity to prove themselves alongside the likes of Mr. Scruff, Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry and Riot Jazz.
After whatever 2020 turned out to be, 2021 will be better, with a new EP in the works, a tour (whenever that can happen), and hopefully loads of festivals! The boys still managed to get a couple of gigs, doing a ‘live’ streamed set for NEXUS festival at the height of lockdown, as well as numerous lockdown videos to keep the spirits up. XMenBTeam have always been proud to discuss important matters through their music; their songs address a wide range of issues from the importance of community to mental-health awareness... all accompanied by their MO: ‘Don’t Be a Dick’.
