A almost monochrome photo of the four members of reggae punk band SiM, there are some things drawn on the band members, such as horns. In addition, some members show emotion in the form of screams or a smile.

After a tour in February where reggae-punk band SiM had a headlining show in France and Germany while sharing the stage with amazing acts like Nothing More, Siamese, and Electric Callboy, they are back and ready to show Europe what they’re made of with the European leg of their PlayDead tour. After dropping by Australia in September, SiM will head to Europe in November for headlining shows in not just France and Germany but the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Belgium as well!

Although they have been touring North America in April and May, they still managed to release their new single, BBT, which stands for Bloody Boring Time, as they let you know during the chorus. The lyrics scream punk and guitar riffs that blend punk with nu-metal sounds, while the chorus alternates with some groovy reggae beats. Perhaps an unlikely mix of genres for some, but SiM has made it work once again.
