Take the right portions of different ingredients and amount measurements and you can make the perfect, explosive device. Many of us know this via it’s more commonly used name, BOMB!
Well what if you took the same basic ideals and applied them to music? You would or should by all the right calculations be able to create an equally explosive compound only instead of blowing up a physical target, you would be taking out stereo’s and dance floors!
Well OUTLAW NATION has done that with BACK IN BABYLON. An amazing collection of songs that span the sounds of time. Lead singer/writer/producer, Simeon has poured his soul into BACK IN BABYLON.. “The music had to be filled with bits and pieces of the past, present and future.” says Simeon. Indeed BACK IN BABYLON which is a term of passion is only half the fun of this record. The band has equally embraced the sounds of the present and future whole heartedly. “Old school music gives the listener a sense of comfort, with hearing sounds that bring back memories of hopefully a joyful past, but the energetic sounds of the now and future intrigue the listeners ears.” Says Simeon
BACK IN BABYLON is full of fragments of a time long gone and nana seconds of an era not yet thought about. All laid on top of beats for the club. Heavy bass and drums are evident on all the tracks and the influences of early HIP HOP pioneers like AFRIKKA BABAATA and even Reggae bass legends like Robbie Shakespeare . “ It’s all about keeping the beat strong and vibrant, I like to hear music that makes my hips move and sway with no inhibitions.” exclaims Bassist Danny Woolen. “ We grew up on everything from DEF JAM HIP HOP of the 80’s to NEW WAVE to ALTERNATIVE ROCK to ROOTS REGGAE and everything in between.” says Simeon
