inner city dwellers

The Inner City Dwellers have landed. At last a true breath of fresh air a British band coming from something that goes against the grain embracing the same qualities & morals that many legendary Rock, Punk and Reggae acts portrayed back in the ‘good old days’. Back when musicians and artists actually ‘said something’ and stood up for their chosen cause! Vocalist Patrick is backed with a band & produced by Patrick’s younger brother and cousin under the name ‘Balisitq Beats’. 34 year old Patrick was born in Forest Gate, East London to Jamaican parents. Patrick’s earlier influences were predominantly reggae music which was close to home as his uncle Smiley was part of a duo and signed to legendary ‘Studio One’ under the moniker of ‘Michigan & Smiley’ whose classic hits included ‘Nice up the Dance’ & ‘Suga Daddy’. Patrick studied reggae music listening to old tapes of Steel Pulse, The Abyssinians & Bob Marley to name a few before immersing himself in his early teenage years into Hip-Hop & Punk Rock Metal Music, listening to Ice T, Rage Against The Machine, Public Enemy, Cyprus Hill and Primal Scream, The Clash as key influences.
