Popes Of Chillitown are a 6-piece Ska/Dub/Punk band from London, England. Known for their energetic live shows they mix elements of upbeat ska, punk, 2-tone, drum & bass, reggae and dub, and have been likened to artists such as Capdown, King Prawn, Skindred, The Beat, The Police and Jamie T.
After releasing their pledge-funded, self-released debut album A Word To The Wise in 2013, the band toured across the UK and into Europe playing headline shows, festivals and support slots with the likes of Reel Big Fish, The Selecter, The Skints, Imperial Leisure, Spunge, Mouthwash, The Snare and many more.
May 2015 saw them release their second album To The Moon (8/10 Big Cheese). Self-produced and self-released, this received a very positive response from fans and critics alike, featuring a slightly more aggressive sound.
They joined US ska veterans Voodoo Glow Skulls and The Slackers for both their UK tours in 2016 and are expecting to head into the studio to start work on their third album next year.
