It will be quite different in approach from the genre that made the band famous in Italy, namely original 1960s ska\/rocksteady with Giuliano Palma on vocals. Here, Pat Cosmo (Patrick Benifei) is on vocals. He comes from and is still part of one of the bands that gave rise to the Bluebeaters in 1994, Casino Royale. After consolidating their position with the Ska cover album \u003cem\u003eEverybody Knows\u003c\/em\u003e (Record Kicks, 2015), the new line-up has started writing original songs in Italian. The 2020 album \u003cem\u003eShock\u003c\/em\u003e, with the help of various writers and musicians, now features songs written almost exclusively by Patrick Benifei.
