Symarip (also known at various stages of their career as The Bees, The Pyramids, Seven Letters and Zubaba) were a ska and reggae band from the United Kingdom, originating in the late 1960s, when Frank Pitter and Michael Thomas founded the band as The Bees. The band's name was originally spelled Simaryp, which is an approximate reversal of the word 'pyramids'.

  • Symarip (zwischenzeitlich auch als The Bees, The Pyramids, Seven Letters, E.K. Bunch, Sonny and the Stoneagers und Zubaba) war eine Ska- und Reggae-Band aus Großbritannien, gegründet in den späten 1960ern. Die Band bestand aus karibischen/westindischen Migrantenkindern und gilt als eine der "originalen" Skinhead-Bands, da sie zu den ersten gehörten, die sich durch ihre Texte bewusst die junge Skinheadbewegung als Publikum suchte. Ihr Musikstil wurde auch Skinhead Reggae genannt, und ihre Hits wie "Skinhead Moonstomp", "Skinhead Girl" and "Skinhead Jamboree" unterstreichen ihre Szenezugehörigkeit. 1971 ging die Band nach Deutschland, um dort Reggae und den sogenannten Afro-Rock unter dem Namen Zubaba aufzuführen. 1980 wurde das Album Skinhead Moonstomp veröffentlicht, und Symarip knackten zum ersten Mal die UK-Charts. Die Band trennte sich offiziell im Jahr 1983. Trojan Records veröffentlichte 2004 ein Best-Of-Album — mit einer Neuveröffentlichung namens "Back From the Moon", die von zwei ehemaligen Bandmitgliedern, Monty Neysmith und Roy Ellis, eingespielt wurde. Der Song "Skinhead Moonstomp" basiert auf dem Derrick Morgan-Song "Moon Hop". Roy Ellis, bekannt auch als Mr. Symarip, tritt heute noch als Solokünstler auf.
  • Symarip (also known at various stages of their career as The Bees, The Pyramids, Seven Letters and Zubaba) were a ska and reggae band from the United Kingdom, originating in the late 1960s, when Frank Pitter and Michael Thomas founded the band as The Bees. The band's name was originally spelled Simaryp, which is an approximate reversal of the word 'pyramids'. Consisting of members of West Indian descent, Symarip is widely marked as one of the first skinhead reggae bands, being one of the first to target skinheads as an audience. Their hits included "Skinhead Girl", "Skinhead Jamboree" and "Skinhead Moonstomp", the latter of which was based on the Derrick Morgan song, "Moon Hop". They moved to Germany in 1971, performing reggae and Afro-rock in Germany under the name Zubaba. In 1980, the album Skinhead Moonstomp was re-issued in the wake of the 2 Tone craze, hitting the UK Singles Chart. The band officially split in 1985 after releasing the album Drunk & Disorderly as The Pyramids. The album was released by Ariola Records and was produced by Stevie B. Trojan Records released a best of album in 2004 with a new single, "Back From the Moon", performed by two former band members, Monty Neysmith and Roy Ellis. In 2005, Neysmith and Ellis performed together at Club Ska in England, and a recording of the concert was released on Moon Ska Records as Symarip - Live at Club Ska. In April 2008, they headlined the Ska Splash Festival in Lincolnshire as Symarip, and later performed at the Endorse-It and Fordham Festivals. Pitter and Thomas now perform in a different band as Symarip/Pyramids. Their "Back From The Moon Tour 2008-2009" has been with The Pioneers.
  • I Symarip sono uno storico gruppo reggae formato nel Regno Unito nei tardi anni sessanta, e tra i più rappresentativi del cosiddetto skinhead reggae. I due principali nomi con cui la band è conosciuta sono appunto Symarip e Pyramids, curiosamente il primo anagramma del secondo. Tuttavia vennero conosciuti anche sotto altri nomi, come Seven Letters e Zubaba, in diversi periodi della loro carriera. Composta da membri originari delle Indie Occidentali i Symarip sono largamente accreditati come una delle band caratteristiche del primo movimento skinhead, essendo uno dei primi gruppi a rivolgersi a tale pubblico. Il loro stile di musica venne infatti conosciuto come skinhead reggae, e tra le loro maggiori hit figurano brani come "Skinhead Girl", "Skinhead Jamboree" e "Skinhead Moonstomp". I Symarip/Pyramids vennero definiti col titolo di leggenda per il loro determinante contributo allo sviluppo della scena ska/rocksteady/reggae britannica.
