"I want all you skinheads to get up on your feet, put your braces together and your boots on your feet and give me some of that old Moonstomping..."
Symarip (also known at various stages of their career as The Bees, The Pyramids, Seven Letters and Zubaba) were a British ska and reggae band, originating in the late 1960s, when Frank Pitter and Michael Thomas founded the band as The Bees. The band's name was originally spelled Simaryp, which is an approximate reversal of the word pyramids. Consisting of members of West Indian descent, Simaryp is widely marked as one of the first skinhead reggae bands, being one of the first to target skinheads as an audience. Their hits included Skinhead Girl, Skinhead Jamboree and Skinhead Moonstomp, the latter based on the Derrick Morgan song, Moon Hop.
Skinhead Moonstomp: Revisited is a new recording of the classic album with Roy Ellis.
