Video Premiere: Sam And The Womp – ‘East Meets West’

London Ska/Balkan outfit, Sam And The Womp create their own unique style of uptempo, trumpet-driven tunes – appropriately dubbed ‘Brass and Bass’. With a desire to break away from the traditional genres of music, Sam And The Womp’s work has been used in a number of ad campaigns, including the Vodaphone UK advert this September.

The latest offering from this party-loving, energy-fuelled band is ‘East Meets West’, a track which perfectly sums up what Sam And The Womp are all about. Filled with upbeat ska rhythms, joyous brass melodies and a wonderfully vibrant energy, the song celebrates the band’s ethos of mixing up different genres and cultures, and simply creating music that’ll have you up and dancing in no time!

Written and recorded with Joe Leech at the legendary Cowshed Studio in North London, you can watch the brand new video for ‘East Meets West’ here:

‘East Meets West’ is out 24 September.

Sam And The Womp are also one of the bands most heavily involved in the campaign to save Dalston music venue, Passing Clouds. And, if you too want to join the campaign, come along with Sam And the Womp to the ‘March To Save Passing Clouds’ this Saturday 17th September – meet at 4pm in Hoxton Square. More details here.
