Rude Boy is a super-high energy ska/roots/rock/reggae 5-piece dynamo
from Ottawa that exploded out of the gate in 1998 with their now classic
debut album Shut Up & Dance released on Montreal’s Stomp records -the label that also brought us Bedouin Soundclash.
Formed around main singer/songwriter Scott Amey, Rude Boy follows the trail blazed by The Specials, The English Beat,
and other bands from the 2-tone era. Meld purist early sixties style
reggae with catchy pop driven numbers, add a dash of clever lyrical
lament and you have Canada’s best kept ska secret.
Reborn in 2008 with the original members, Rude Boy has "dusted
off the cobwebs" and stormed back onto the ska scene with a re-release
of Shut Up & Dance as well as a second album, Rude Boy 2,
to be released this year. A third album is written and the new
material will be polished on the road with the 1980 motorhome the band
rebuilt and named "The Ska-V" on their recent western Canadian tour.
