Smaller Than You

A Funky:Jazzy Sextuplet Orchestra

About Me

Smaller Than You are a young, up and coming Ska/Punk band from Norwich, UK. They formed Summer 2005 and have been on the local scene ever since, playing many shows, developing a strong local following and sharing the stage with bands such as The Planet Smashers, The Slackers, Spunge, Sonic Boom Six, Freefall Felix, Fandangle and Howards Alias. They self released their first album 'Smaller Than You', a collection of past EP's in 2007. The music is built up of powerful horn lines, punching guitar lines and hard hitting drum beats taking inspiration from old traditional ska to more modern bands in and around the genre such as Reel Big Fish, Sonic Boom Six and Capdown.
Look out for a new EP late in the summer!

Smaller Than You are ace as well; six modest 16-year-olds breathing fresh air into an accessible ska format - Drowned In Sound.com
