"Tom Bradley's melody-driven songs are undeniably catchy. Bradley and the ultra-tight Bad Maraca's soulful reggae/ska vibes fall under the pop bracket, a label they have no shame in promoting, Tom says, "Everyone seems to think pop means you've sold your soul to the devil and as a result are extremely un 'cool', whatever that may mean. But to me, a pop song is a tune people can connect with therefore it stays with them and theyre still humming it on their way home, or they cant sleep because of it". Drawing inspiration from the likes of the The Police and other classics such as the Wailers, Tom Bradley has fused the reggae bounce with surf rock, street ska and pop music, ultimately characterised by his unique soulful voice. Lyrically, Tom just writes about what he see's around him, there is a familiarity which we can all connect with. You have to hear it to understand and make up your own mind........what is clear is that Tom clearly lives and breathes music not just when he's onstage solo or with his solid backbeat band, but all the time...in the way he talks and thinks...everything". ------------------------------------------------------------
