Bedouin Soundclash came together in Toronto in 2001, a band that fell hard for reggae and ska and decided to play it with an indie-rock heart. Singer and guitarist Jay Malinowski and bassist Eon Sinclair are the constants, with Pat Pengelly part of the early lineup and a rotating cast of session players around them.
Sounding a Mosaic, in 2004, was the one that broke them out. "When The Night Feels My Song" is a loping, sunlit skank with Malinowski's raspy croon riding on top, and "Gyasi Went Home" and "Shelter" kept the mood mellow and warm. In 2006 the Junos named them Breakthrough Group of the Year.
Street Gospels, in 2007, went bigger and brighter, with the easygoing sway of "St. Andrews", the bounce of "Walls Fall Down" and the anthemic "Until We Burn In The Sun (The Kids Just Want A Love Song)". Light the Horizon followed in 2010 with "Mountain Top" and "Elongo", and the band has kept going ever since, making six studio albums in all.
