Be Sharp Bop is up next, you may have heard it if you happened to check out our fifth birthday compilation earlier in the year. It's a love song directed at the aforementioned Paul Smith and how much they adore Be Sharp Promotions. Ell sings about all the reasons he loves Paul. Lyrically it's hilarious and always goes down a treat at New Cross Inn shows. Like the song says, this is Paul’s favourite song and he especially loves to crowd surf to it. Next time you see BaldHead at New Cross you know what to do. The fourth song is probably the catchiest song I've heard all year. Titled Quit Your Job, Get A Job, James sings about – you guessed it – quitting your job and getting a dog. No hidden meanings in these titles. This mid-tempo track, which features the fantastic addition of a harmonica (more ska bands need harmonica), is an absolute smile maker. It's one of those songs that you listen to and will instantly make you start smiling, whilst singing along to it (including the barking). The final song is a remix of Be Sharp Bop by PavelPro which drummer Tommy apparently paid for whilst drunk. Sounds about right for BaldHead And The Dreads.
I think after every BaldHead And The Dreads live set I've seen so far my reaction has been either that has no right to be as good as it was or they keep getting better and better. That is certainly something I could say to this. It'll Be Fiiine is a great showcase of what I think the band are all about; being fun, being ridiculous but also being very, very good.
