Single Review: Kid British – Our House Is Dadless (Universal/Mercury)

By | Published on Monday 6 July 2009

Kid British

Having just supported The Specials on their much heralded reunion tour, Kid British keep up and yet reinvent the old school 2 Tone feel with this impressive Madness-sampling single.

Rap and ska are perfect bedmates – both vital steps in the history of black music – and both bringing lyrics to the fore against simple but addictive rhythms. And though it’s a white interpretation of ska featured here, it’s still a thrilling and fun 21st century take on a classic of the genre, that may not offer anything particularly revolutionary but could make even Terry Hall smile.
