Sshh Starkey

WMV (World Music Views)

Sshh shares her journey from Punk to reggae music and being the principal of Trojan Jamaica, a mother and band leader. “SSHH’s music … doesn’t sacrifice the knack for melody Zak picked up playing with groups like The Who and Oasis, or by being the son of one of the most melodious groups in rock history.” – Entertainment Weekly “The duo deliver a faithful, but blistering cover of “Problems” alongside Matlock and Cook, with Liguz injecting her melodic vocal turn with plenty of Johnny Rotten-esque snottiness.” – Rolling Stone Magazine “Sshh Liguz and Zak Starkey (son of Ringo) are the brains behind SSHH, the electro-punk duo. This cut of ‘Get Up Stand Up’ takes a more maximalist approach than the original Wailers tune and translates as stadium-ready upon the first listen.” – Stereogum “Liguz’s singing voice is flawlessly punk—ice queen Siouxsie Sioux, with the spunk of Johnny Rotten and the balls to take on any genre of music.” – RIFF Magazine “A pelvis swinging slice of gnarly power-pop rock with vocals so saucy they make ketchup seem like mere water” – NME Magazine SSHH is a rare breed of band. With comparisons ranging from Aphex Twin to The Sex Pistols, these guys are extreme. Fronted by the force of nature that is the singer Sshh Liguz, whose vocals have been described as a mixture of "Bowie, Siouxie Soux, Iggy Pop, Karen O & Robert Plant" she's a pint sized pocket rocket to be reckoned with. By her side is the man of the hour- Zak Starkey, wielding his weapon of choice--a guitar--that takes your breath away and makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up on end in excitement. With awesome intent he moves around creating sounds to make you move! Lyrical and dynamic- the duo make, break, and make music again, drawing on inspiration from personal experience as well as the wonders of the world and the seedy underbelly that seethes just beneath the surface, no stone is left unturned. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/worldmusicviews/support
