"By taking ska, pop, grime, dubstep, punk and metal apart, then rebuilding them as a hyperactive hybrid, Sonic Boom Six demand attention" - Kerrang!
SONIC BOOM SIX is an explosive and outspoken five-piece described as "taking ska, pop, grime, dubstep, punk and metal apart, then rebuilding them as a hyperactive hybrid" (Kerrang! Magazine). With a live show infamous for "clashing activism and good times", SB6's legendary gigs are a party that started in Manchester, UK, transcending genres and connecting people from all walks of life. The Boom’s influences include The Specials, The Streets, Rage Against The Machine and The Fugees.
Formed in 2002 and having toured the world for the last two decades, Sonic Boom Six took the turbulent times of the lost lockdown years as a time to take a deep breath, bide their time, watch, and create. The band has emerged from the rubble of culture and politics of 2023 with RE:Generation, a new compilation of their material from the last decade plus two brand new tracks.
New song ‘Future Shock’ drops with quite literally a Boom: the band’s signature mix of heroically heavy riffs with dancefloor-ready grooves serving up their horror at the increasingly polarised war zone of social media discourse. ‘One Of The Boys' skewers the old boy's network that has dominated British decision-making for as long as they care to remember over a mash-up of ska-punk and bass music. Throw in road-tested anthems like ‘Virus’, and ‘No Man No Right’ and we have a record that celebrates the band’s remarkable journey while continuing their artistic evolution.
Moreover, in October 2023, Sonic Boom Six are set to inspire a renewed sense of unity and enthusiasm among their fans as they take their electrifying performances to stages across the country for the RE:Generation tour. SB6 is ready to remind us once again that music has the extraordinary ability to touch our souls, unite us as a community, and pave the way for a brighter future.
Sonic Boom Six has released five studio albums, one mini-album and two full-length compilations with countless singles, EPs and compilation appearances. SB6 has performed headline tours of Europe, Japan and the US (including the 2016 Vans Warped Tour) as well as slots at festivals including Glastonbury, Download, Sonisphere and the main stage at Reading and Leeds Festival. Sonic Boom Six has written and performed songs that have appeared on BBC Radio 1, Channel 4, BBC 2 (TV), Rock Band and Sims 3 video games, and much more.
