Description
Having toured the world for the last two decades, Sonic Boom Six took the turbulent times of the lost lockdown years to take a deep breath, watch, and create. The band emerged from the rubble of culture and politics in 2023 with new Double A-side single ‘Future Shock’ b/w ‘One of The Boys’, both taken from their new compilation RE:Generation out March 1st 2024. The album features these two new tracks alongside highlights from the band’s recordings from the last decade, including alternate single mixes and revamped 2023 EQs of fan favourites.
‘Future Shock’ ignites the compilation with quite literally a Boom – the band’s signature mix of heroically heavy riffs with dancefloor-ready grooves serves up their horror at the increasingly polarised warzone of social media discourse. New track ‘One of The Boys’ skewers the old boy’s network that has dominated British politics for as long as we care to remember over a mash-up of ska-punk and bass music. Throw in road-tested anthems like ‘Virus’ (Single Mix), and ‘No Man No Right’ and we have a record that celebrates the band’s remarkable journey while continuing their artistic evolution.
