Step Into The Marina (#noschool) 7" single (Released by Critical Heights on 21 Apr 2012). GONG ACCIDENT LEADS TO RAP ALBUM: If you went to rap school, you wasted your money. Talibam's #noschoolrap is the result of circumstance. They never studied old or new school rap. Rap found them. In 2009, a falling gong broke Kevin Shea's bass drum foot in Torino, Italy. In a subsequent recording session, Shea adapted using his other foot on the bass drum. The ensuing beats, composed without samples or loops, inspired Matt Mottel and Shea to flex their symbiotic verbal epiphanies within their self produced floral pop paradise. A lucid genesis through synchronicity and chutzpa led to Talibam!'s #noschoolrap debut single, 'Step into the Marina.' Talibam! believes the world needs #noschoolrap and is here to give the populace what they want (From the forthcoming full length #noschoolrap album 'Puff Up the Volume' out September 2012 on Critical Heights).

Discover Atlantass CD + Comic Book (Belly Kids 2012). Belly Kids have teamed up with pranksters Talibam! and maestro multi-instrumentalist/trombonist/song-writer Sam Kulik to put together a conceptual adventure into the bowels of the magical city of Atlantis. The 19-track, 80 minute CD comes accompanied with a kick ass 30 page comic book, drawn up by James Clapham. "Discover AtlantASS” tells the story of a young teen named Franklin who gets abducted to the undersea world of Atlantis by a laid-back revolutionary jazz fish named Stinge. Together, they are ready to combat a disastrous oil spill which has nearly eradicated the vibrant community of poets, musicians, artists and fornicators who inhabit the undersea paradise. Amazon.com
