Posted on by

Following the massive success of a lengthy European tour, ska legends The Selecter and The Beat will be taking their show across to North America.

The Steve Lamacq championed band have a few shows coming up over the next six weeks and they’ll also be promoting yet another single, ‘Seven Years’.  The track has already been referred to as “nostalgic” and just one listen should tell you why.  The three minute nugget is loaded with a world of guitar jangle that almost instantly transports the listener back to the mid 90s.  It could be part of the soundtrack to your summer!   Take a listen below…
