Transmission combines reggae rhythm, blistering guitar licks and ambient electronic bass-lines which progress into powerhouse choruses to shake arena walls. Its nod to dub, reggae and rap is influenced by the lead singer’s early life in the Caribbean, as well as their collective love of the genres. However, they also remain faithful to their Leeds roots by retaining the distinctive accent and reflections on life in Britain, exploring issues such as oppression, corruption and the nanny state. 

The EP has a motivational and powerful message which is delivered with such intensity,  that when played live, it is hard to look away. This is best reflected in opener ‘The Instigator’, with its defiant calls for a change that can only be instigated through unity. In contrast, the last track ‘Rain’ is emotive, nostalgic and has the makings of an anthem.
