The Scotch Bonnets - "Go, Adrian!" Jump Up Records - A BlankTV World Premiere!

City/Country: Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.A.

Artist Bio: Punky reggae rockers from Baltimore whose infectious energy keeps the party jumping all night, The Scotch Bonnets have been bringing the heat and the good-love vibe since their debut in 2009. The crew is fearlessly lead by singer-guitarist Kristin Forbes a/k/a Lady Hatchet, whose tunes blend classic Jamaican groves with a funky fresh approach to American singer-songwriting. The Bonnets self-released their debut album 'Live Ya Life' in 2012 and dropped 'Quest' in 2014, an EP done in collaboration with HR of Bad Brains.

This Memorial Day, the Bonnets put out The District, their first 7” on Jump Up Records. They also had a song on Recutting the Crap, a Record Store Day release on Crooked Beat Records that reinterprets The Clash’s swan song, 'Cut the Crap'. The Bonnets had the privilege of recording their track at DC’s punk pantheon Inner Ear Studio with owner Don Zientera.

Who is who in the band:
Kristin Forbes a/k/a Lady Hatchet: vocals, guitar
DJ Selah: vocals, melodica
Pablo Fiasco: keys, vocals
Names Thompson: drums, vocals
Dan Breen: bass

Director Name: The Scotch Bonnets

Song Lyrics: How many people gonna die in the District today?
A little girl in her bed, uninspired, underfed
Counting bullets in her head
When the shots ring out everybody down!

Ain’t no stoppin’ what’s goin’ on
Ain’t no stoppin’, no no
Ain’t no stoppin’, ain’t no stoppin’ ‘til we’re all gone, gone

It’s gonna take a marathon man to put up a fight
A local boy done right
Go, Adrian, go!

How many people gonna lie in the District today?
It’s a hustle on that Hill, chasing down that dollar bill
Taking prisoners at will
But when it all comes down who’s representing me? Yeah.

Ain’t no stoppin’ what’s goin’ on
Ain’t no stoppin’, no no
Ain’t no stoppin’, ain’t no stoppin’ ‘til the money’s all gone

It’s gonna take a marathon man to put up a fight
A local boy done right
Go, Adrian, go!

(solos)

And his lady sings along as she’s rollin’ 14th
Oooo shop shop shop, ooo shop shop shop....

How many people, how many people going down?
‘Cause what you want and what you need are defined only by greed
And if you gonna succeed there’s gonna be some casualties along the way
And i just hope it ain’t my city, yeah.
