Zen Baseballbat have unmistakable shades of post ska reggae simmering with new wave riffs, rhythmical plinks and bowel-shaking rumbles. Industrious bass and luminous bursts of percussive melody straddling the divide between manipulated dub, instrumental groove and disgruntled rhyme. This band will take you through a whole gamut of emotions, lifting you up when you least expect it, at other times provoking anger, sadness, determination and the desire to stand up and be counted. 

​

Zen Baseballbat write forward thinking songs which perfectly highlight the emptiness of the particularly British obsession with price, within a mindset that knows the cost of everything and the value of nothing. The album, BETTER WAYS TO LOVE AND OFFEND perfectly highlights the emptiness of the particularly British obsession with price, within a mindset that knows the cost of everything and the value of nothing. Adorable songs brimming with irony, presented through the lens of the unique Gleavey sense of humour. The mocking words represent what is justice to some, deliver poignant messages in tracks about a society that’s a lot more than one frame out of sync.

Zen Baseballbat are a well oiled live machine, fresh from touring with New Model Army, The Selecter, The Beat, The Ragga Twins, Rhoda Dakar as well as playing The London International Reggae Festival, The Irish International Ska Festival and The Specialized Big One. The band have also featured at this year world famous Rebellion punk festival.
