Roddy Byers steps away from his role as lead guitarist of The Specials and into the center spotlight as the frontman and guitarist of his newest outfit, the Skabilly Rebels. This band perfects the sound Roddy set out to create when he joined up with The Special back in the 1980's - a fusion of the driving rhythm of ska and the gritty, hard edge of rockabilly, also known as "Skabilly." Together, the members of this new band deliver the rocksteady beat, vocal twang, and rocking riffs that take the listener on a thrilling adventure of teenage angst, crazy weekends, long-lost love, and cheating hearts.
