Mr. Symarip
'The Skinheads Dem A Come'

Hello Skinheads, and Ska & Reggae fans.
This is Roy Ellis, lead singer and song writer from Symarip.

Just want to let you all know it is so great to be back on Ska & Reggae music scene after such a long time disappearing from in England 1971 and headed for Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Spain, France, Finland, Sweden, to pioneer the Ska and Reggae music, which didn’t catch on by the people ‘till in1980.

At that same time, not knowing that Symarip would turn out to be a legend band on the Skinhead reggae scene.
I would like to thank the Skinhead scene, Rudeattack in Luzern (Switzerland) who had found out that I’m living in Switzerland since 25 Years. They came to my house one day to meet me and try to talk me in to go back on the road because Symarip have so much fans all over the world, “and they would like to see you and hear you”. So I said: “that’s great, why not I will!!!”

So the end of 2001 they link me up with one of the best Swiss Ska and Reggae band called Kalles Kaviar. Since then I have been also backed by other great bands like The Aggronauts from Barcelona, The Solitos from Berlin, and the Nr.1 Station from London, and the Aggrolites from L.A. (U.S.A).

Anyway: Roy Ellis ‘Mr.Symarip’ is back with one of the best albums for 2006, or further more one of his best recording Album he ever did. I also would like to thank Liquidator Music in Madrid (Spain) and all the other European records lables for taking the interest in this Album.


The title in Jamaican: The Skinheads Dem a Come.
In English: The Skinheads are Coming.


So I want all you Skinhead all over the world, and everyone to get up on your feet, put some money in your pocket and get out on the street, walk into the music stores, and buy this album.
Thank you all.
