I Wanna Be your Boy

Punky reggae rockers from Baltimore whose infectious energy keeps the party jumping all night, The Scotch Bonnets have been bringing the heat and their good-love vibes since debutting in 2009. The crew is fearlessly lead by singer-guitarist Kristin Forbes aka Lady Hatchet, whose tunes blend classic Jamaican groves with a funky fresh approach to American singer-songwriting. The Bonnets released their first full-length Live Ya Life in 2012 and dropped Quest in 2014, an EP done in collaboration with their legendary friend HR of Bad Brains. In April 2015, the band toured with Roddy Radiation, founding lead guitarist of The Specials. That same month, the Bonnets released a video for their song on Hooligans United, a Smelvis Records’ tribute to Rancid, and it has since been viewed over 15 thousand times.

At last year's Supernova International Ska Festival, the band released The District, their first 7” on Jump Up Records and their second video for its A-side. They earned praise their song on Recutting The Crap, a Crooked Beat Records’ LP that reinterprets The Clash’s swan song, Cut The Crap. The Bonnets had the privilege of recording their track at DC’s punk pantheon Inner Ear Studio with owner Don Zientera.

The Scotch Bonnets did a second tour with Roddy Radiation last May, culminating in two sets at this year's Supernova Ska Fest. They are currently planning the release of their second full-length album for early 2019 with tours to follow. The journey is continually evolving for these reggae cats, mee-yowza!
