Inner Terrestrials – Heart of The Free

Inner Terrestrials are pleased to finally announce the release of the long awaited album Heart Of The Free. There have been many difficulties along the way, the biggest one being this disastrous situation we’re all living through. With no gigs in sight we took the decision to release it regardless so instead of touring we’ll be performing a free online album launch gig on Sunday 28TH February 2021 at 20.00hrs 8pm GMT streaming live from Facebook & YouTube. 27 years on the road and stronger than ever, London’s legendary Inner Terrestrials are a stomping mix of dub, punk, ska, folk and general anarchic danceability. They get audiences all over the world…

Review: Transglobal Underground: Walls Have Ears — as glorious as ever.

With swaggering reggae beats to modern Maghrebi, the near-original line-up reunites for a new studio album. Transglobal Underground were ahead of their time.
