ABOUT
National Wake Originally banned in 1981 by the apartheid government as seditious and inflammatory, National Wake’s self-titled sole album is an invigorating mix of punk, ska, African dub reggae, and rock. Songs like “International News” and “Wake of the nation” echo the spirit of early Clash / Talking Heads and roar with unbridled energy, passion, and fury whilst “Bolina” and “Supaman” draw on the revolutionary zeal of Bob Marley and Peter Tosh as influences.
