Biography

After surfacing in 2013 with their debut EP, Wasters & Wannabes, The Kubricks soon became one of the must-see ska bands of this generation. Tracks from their debut release were supported by Huey Morgan (6Music) and Tom Robinson (BBC Introducing – 6Music), and The Specials' bassist, Horace Panter, championed the band, claiming, “I can hear Madness, The Ruts, Squeeze and The Clash in there…” The timing was perfect, and coincided with a new interest in ska music, as many of UK’s festivals began dedicating entire stages to the genre. Riding on the back of this wave, the band soon found themselves supporting legends such UB40, Bad Manners and The Toasters, in addition to sharing the stage with The Skints, Buster Shuffle and Bombskare. In 2015, an extended version of Wasters & Wannabes (Special Edition) was released. 
 Produced with Toby Davies of Gentleman's Dub Club, The Heist was released in 2017. Bucketlist in Canada called it, "A gem of an album that makes ska and reggae seem like a perfect fit with 21st-century musical trends”. Plus, further support was given by BBC Introducing. 
 In 2019, The Kubricks began working with Monster Florence producer/band member, Tom Donovan, and - following two stand-alone singles - the album ‘Between Antipodes’ was released in December 2022. 
 Having become a regular fixture on the UK festival scene, The Kubricks have performed at Isle of Wight, BoomTown Fair, Bearded Theory’s Spring Gathering and Nozstock, amongst many others.
