The Masonics are still the Kings Of Medway Beat, and are known for being ‘the best Rhythm and Beat combo since The Milkshakes’, and there’s a very good reason for that…
With Mickey Hampshire (The Milkshakes, Mickey And The Salty Seadogs, Mickey And Ludella, Mick Hampshire), Bruce Brand (The Pop Rivets, The Milkshakes, Auntie Vegetable, Thee Headcoats, The Kravin’ “A”s, The Clique, Dutronc, The Voo-Dooms and more) and John Gibbs (The Wildebeests, The Kaisers), this Medway-based trio have got enough rhythm ’n’ beat and rock ’n’ roll in their blood streams to power any rocket!
Since 1991, The Masonics have been raising roofs all across the land, and disturbing audio grooves on at least nine studio albums and nine singles. There’s no stopping them!
During 2022, the group joined The 5.6.7.8’s on their five-night UK tour, and then again in October 2023 on a ten-night tour of Japan.
Amongst all that, they have also released two 7” EPs, a first-time-on-vinyl edition of their ‘Outside Looking In’ album (originally released on CD in 2004), a new studio album (Sursum Tibiam Vestram), and a joint 7” EP with The 5.6.7.8’s.
The Masonics have got it all! Well, they have now! This 7” EP, titled ’I Got It All’, sees a further four songs, recorded at Ranscombe Studios in the heart of Medway, with that sure fire energy that shows there’s definitely no stopping them!
Limited to 500 copies on vinyl, this will be available via the label, the artist and all good record outlets, whilst stocks last.
