Artist Profile

Symarip

Symarip were a British ska and reggae band, originating in the late 1960s, when Frank Pitter and Michael Thomas founded the band as The Bees. The band's name was originally spelled Simaryp, which is an approximate reversal of the word pyramids. Consisting of members of West Indian descent, Simaryp is widely marked as one of the first skinhead reggae bands, being one of the first to target skinheads as an audience. Their hits included 'Skinhead Girl', 'Skinhead Jamboree' and 'Skinhead Moonstomp', the latter based on the Derrick Morgan song, 'Moon Hop'.
