Bubblebrain’s Hot Picks #3 Benny the Moth

Benny the Moth’s signature reggae and ska-influenced alternative rock satisfies mind and body. Particularly impressive is the way that Dozy and James swap roles on drums and bass while keeping the band’s groovy objective locked-on. Tom’s electronically augmented guitar textures bring unexpected colours to the palette. Lionel is a front man with genuine charisma, and whose compassionate, communicative inclination shines in the song lyrics. Emphatically, we love these guys and thank them for their continuing contribution to the Jersey music scene. Benny the Moth represents the island’s musical heart and soul, being a band of socially conscious, spiritually informed deliverers of good times.
