There's an oft repeated urban myth about the origins of ska and reggae music that goes something like this... In the 1950s Jamaican youngsters used to listen to American blues, jazz, bebop and early rock'n'roll on cheap wireless sets with very poor reception. The radio signals travelling across the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico were so weak and disjointed that the timing of the music sounded confused and the emphasis sometimes shifted from the on-beat to the off-beat. Young musicians listening to these sounds picked up on this and developed a style of jazz/blues that emphasized the off-beat, eventually spawning a whole new musical genre consisting of ska, rocksteady and eventually reggae. Coma Brothers are what might have happened had Hank Williams and the Louvin Brothers been listening to these very same radio broadcasts in similar circumstances whilst reading some Bakunin. "We're a little bit country, we're a little bit dub, we're a little bit annoyed..." as Donnie and Marie might say.
