The group recently returned from Jamaica from a video shoot of their latest provocative titled single, “Swing That.” The video feature familiar faces on the Jamaican and International dancehall scene, including creative producer/artist Benzly Hype of the former group Innocent Crew, who was the producer of the song. It features the innovative dance crew, Sample Six who have been consistently awarded “dancers of the year” for the past four years in Jamaica. Another face or rather talent in the video is Mr. Caribbean International 2008, Marlon “Face” Birbridge, as a little eye candy for the ladies. This single comes fully loaded and will certainly become addictive just after listening to it once.

Their spicy single is expected to be a true club banger displaying the group’s versatility in doing songs of varying styles in comparison to their still buzzing single “Never Find Another”. Fans fell in love with “Never Find Another” after it premiered on the program Video Alley which is aired on Caribbean International Network (CIN), among other stations in Jamaica, New York and England. As their first official single, the song gave the self-managed group enough buzz to earn them a spot at number seven on the Reggae Top Ten Charts of Video Alley.

Their debut album Initial deposit is available on all popular online sources including Rhapsody, Napster, eMusic, Groupie Tunes, Amazon MP3, and iTunes. For a more personal look, you can keep informed by visiting them at West Bank’s official site or Myspace.com. Stay tuned for “Swing That”, the scorching single.

THE BAND

Who are the major assets that make up West Bank?

First up is Joel Isaacs, aka Joe West. Joe West is no stranger to the music industry. Behind the scenes as a writer and producer, he enjoyed success managing two popular groups, ARP and Emerge, in his native Jamaica. These groups performed with powerhouse acts such as Beenie Man, Anthony B’, Bounty Killer and Destiny’s Child. Now front and center, Joe West loves DJ ’ing, or chanting, as he affectionately calls it. His love of chanting is evident when he hits the stage, electrifying crowds with his high energy hold-nothing-back performances!

Next up is Patrick Livingstone, aka Mr. Millennium. A promising artist with a booming velvet voice is the perfect laid back balance to Joe’s wild in’ out Elephant Man stage antics. Born in Antigua, Mr. Millennium grew up in St. Croix and now lives in New Jersey. He’s written performed and perfected various forms of Reggae and Calypso music in different venues and was lighting up the dance hall scene with his explosive lyrics before finding a home with West Bank.

Last but definitely not least is Jodaine Penrose, aka Jody Jode, whose silky sound is the perfect element that blends West Bank together like sweet butter. Jody Jode, a Jamaican native also currently living in New Jersey, was born to sing. She has been singing since she was seven years old. Her voice, pure sensual soul, will earn her a place alongside her creative inspirations and vocal royalty of Patti Labelle, Mariah Carey and Mary J. Blige. This future diva’s star is already on the rise.
