Laid Blak
About Time
Bristol's Laid Blak have trailed a unique path through the music jungle and picked up influential friends on the way. They don't come much bigger these days than this key ally - Ed Sheeran. The red-haired one is a big fan, so much so that he used a section of the band's earlier signature tune, 'My Eyes Are Red', in one of his own album chart busting songs and to close his shows. But Laid Blak's new second full album, 'About Time', more than stands on its' own merits. Core members, DJ Bunjy and MC Joe Peng, easily use every strand of elements that turn their ears and make a musical cocktail that is heady and delicious. It comfortably straddles styles that cover a range of bases in contemporary reggae music. And most of the time it's anything but laid back!
