Sola and his new project are to take centre stage with the release of their debut single Generation Vex, which was released through Hip Sync Records today. An EP will follow in April.

Generation Vex is said to mix twisted guitars riffs with explosive beats in a contemporary Afro-UK sound that pounds with a futuristic edge. According to the press release, the song melds stylistic and tempo shifts, reflecting the diverse influences brought to the group by its members and the discordant times in which we live.

The single was written by Sola Akingbola and social anthropologist Gillian Evans as a reaction to the revolutionary undercurrents and periods of mass defiance that have characterised the beginning of the 21st Century. Explains Sola:

"We wanted to delve into our separate musical cultures and bring them all together on this single. But we didn't just want it to be a fusion of styles, we wanted to bring our individual influences and make something fresh and unique, that pulls us together into something new and speaks to people about the way we live now. By harnessing those different styles and bringing them into a single sound we want to reflect the schizophrenic way we live now, where thousands of aggravated voices can cry out all at once. Those voices may speak in many languages, but they're all expressing the same thing."
