The Inner City Dwellers have landed… At last a true breath of fresh air a British band coming from something that goes against the grain embracing the same qualities & morals that many legendary Rock and Reggae acts portrayed back in the ‘good old days’. Back when musicians and artists actually ‘said something’ and stood up for their chosen cause!

ICD are Patrick Williams backed with a band & produced by Patrick’s younger brother ‘Balisitq’. 30 yr old Patrick born in Forest Gate, East London to Jamaican & Indian parents who still reside in the East London area. Patricks earlier influences were predominantly reggae music which was close to home as his uncle was signed to legendary ‘Studio One’ under the moniker of ‘Michigan & Smiley’ whose classic hits included ‘Nice up the Dance’ & ‘Suga Daddy’. Patrick studied reggae music listening to old tapes of Desmond Decker, John Holt & Freddy McGregor to name a few before immersing himself in his early teenage years into hip-hop &punk rock metal Music listening too; Ice T, Rage Against The Machine, Public Enemy, Cyprus Hill and Primal Scream ,The Clash as key influences.

“ I have never been defined by one look or scene”.
Over the next ten years Patrick continued to perform as ‘MC Rage’ MC’ing for Goldie’s ‘Metalheadz’ collective successfully touring the world at the forefront of the drum & bass scene.
But Patrick would continue to work along side Balistiq free styling over certain rifts and bars of different Indie & Rock records around at the time.
“One thing you’ve got to remember about me is that I’ve always fucked around with different sounds and styles”.

Patrick would return to Jamaica in 1999 with his younger brother, who was making hip-hop and early Grime beats at the time. Patrick explained to him the concept of his new vision and told his younger sibling to ‘study up’ on his rock and punk history.

He continues,
“You see my brother saw the changes me and my mates went through growing up. We we’re rude boys, we we’re jungle kids, we did the house thing; we were dropping straight skinny jeans before everyone else thought it was the shit”.

The Dwellers have drawn heavily on the past to promote and provoke the present and future. Talking to them you can see their genuine concern for the times they are living in and the circumstances that surround them. There’s a frustration with regards to the music they’re hearing and to what the media portrays.

They represent the inner cities and have a lot to get off their chest. In a time where the perception of estates and inner city neighbourhoods is a negative one the Dwellers are keen to highlight this; “there are people out here who have talent, dreams, passions and think with an open mind”.

They never talk about the positive things happening in the ghetto, they never celebrate anything in the ends.”

Patrick admits that some of their friends have been jailed killed or involved in the gang culture. But what makes them different is their quest to be spokesmen for…

“The shit we see on our doorstep”.

Listening to a selection of tracks from their forthcoming album Broken Britain they capture the aggression pain and anger of Britons inner-city culture with such tracks as Rude boy and Ice Cold Shank, Patrick is keen to point out that music is not there to glorify or glamorise inner city issues but to only expose the frustration of Britain’s lost generation.

“we don’t just make up a load of words to rhyme together and sound nice…

It’s serious issues we address in a way which is educational and uplifting, and from a different angle.

These day’s people put labels on things so they can blame something but we see that as the easy way out!”. No one wants to go inside the problem.

Our album will take you there and hopefully make the media and people in general relate a bit better to the inner city”.

Their frustration continues as Patrick boldly states
“All these bands… no ones saying anything anymore! People like Don Letts, The Clash – told it how they saw it. They changed the game they had a presence “I mean our grandparents and parents came to this country & were influenced by the 60’s and 70’s, all the riots, and the reggae and rock music at that time made statements”.

Punk in 2007 is not even music anymore…

it’s an attitude and that’s what’s we’re dealing with.”

This is a band who clearly knows their mission, drawing heavily from a deep and vast pool of influences from their day-to-day surroundings – to their parent’s old record collections. Patrick reels off further influences like Shane Medows film ‘This Is my England’, Don Letts’s book and Dennis Morris’s iconic pictures of the late Bob Marley.

He goes on… “In That Era, what they said meant so much more”.

The Dwellers have just recently supported & completed the UK leg of Roni Size’s latest Reprazent Tour 2008; Manchester, Leeds,Liverpool,Birmingham, Nottingham, London, Brighton & Bristol.

The ICD’S were also asked to open the prestigious SpringEight Nokia festival in Austria along side Mike Skinner, Robyn, Rosin Murphy and Roni Size’s Reprazent.

Over the last few years the ICD’S have been defining their Rudeboy Metal sound. Through dealings with ACM Music College in Gilford, Patrick stumbled on Chris Booth who shared the same passion for Rock Metal and alternative music.

Boothy then introduced Patrick to the Rommer brothers Jake (guitar) & Sam (bass) and Africa Green their new drummer Chris says “She is just sick”

“Between Balistiq beats and the four musicians they have become instrumental in creating the Rudeboy Metal Sound.”

Rudeboy Metal has found its true Identity.

They call it ‘Rock and Road’.
