In case some of you do not know who KINGSTON RUDIESKA is, well it's time to give you a bit of edutainment so you'll not get confused with that K Pop thing. The band comes from South Korea and have been around since 2004 playing authentic ska music. If you like to be bombarded with tight rhythm section and even tighter horn section then this band is for you. Meanwhile enjoy their music video and start skanking.
