Contra Coup

The foundation of this eight piece group is heavy drum and bass
rhythms topped with sweet melodies and harmonies all fusing
with with the same bold originality that made the 1977 punk
scene. While embracing roots reggae, skinhead reggae and ska
music, this band is by no means shy about expressing themselves
and their own experience through the music.
Contra Coup formed as a band, in November 2006, after several
members of a temporary backing band, The Lonestar Rockers,
completed a tour of the Southern United States with reggae legend
Clinton Fearon (Studio One, The Gladiators, Black Ark Studio).
Inspired by Fearon’s authentic and original style, these musicians
– former members of The Stingers ATX, Five Ton Chicken,
Burning Spear’s Burning Band, and many others – gathered in a
recording studio three months later to record On Time, their first
full-length album, which was produced by Fearon and released on
the Mossburg Music label. Four of the sixteen tracks are dub
versions by Victor Rice, who has produced and mixed records for
acts such as The Slackers, The Toasters, Rocker-T, and many
more.
On the 2007 Winter In Europe Tour, Contra Coup will be joined
the Babylove And The Van Dangos horn section (DK), as well as
the duet Amphaze (DE) for added guitar and organ support. For
