you call this music? Umbrella Bed has cranked out the four full-length CDs shown below, and appear on something approaching a dozen ska compilations. Principally influenced by the Second Wave of ska from London in the late 1970s and early 1980s, they are firmly rooted in Two-Tone tradition. But as their attention deficit gets the best of them, Umbrella Bed also indulges in first-wave showdowns, loud fast mow downs, and twangy instrumental hoe downs.
