Umbrella Bed is breathing new life into ska music with their two-step album “Rotate.” Starting its journey in 1995 in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Umbrella Bed’s third wave ska style carries unique influence from the punk and grunge scene of their generation. Their style quickly led them to a large local following in the twin cities, with a reputation for energetic and manic live events.
With a well-built catalog of two-tone material, Umbrella Bed manages to reach the perfect harmony of tested depth and new originality. Rotate revolves around the themes of romance and betrayal, and the sheepishness of the society we currently live in, among other subjective observations of the group.
Umbrella Bed has been called one of the USA’s hidden ska gems, just sneaking beneath the radar of widespread view. The engaging storytelling abilities of the vocalist, combined with fast-paced and deep hitting instrumentals, make for a combination of tight-knit and alluring anthems.
