Way back in 1991 Dutch underground ska punk Jammah Tammah started out as a quartet, with Eddy Huizing (better known as Speedy, because his electrifying stage antics) on vocals, Frans de Boer (guitar), Janfie van Strien (sax) and Thuur Caris (keyboards, electronic percussion). They burnt up stages in Groningen, before playing in clubs all over Europe. The band grew into a well-oiled machine, adding a six piece brass section in the early stages of their career, and released three albums in quick succession. Their big break never came, but their legacy never died.
Fast forward to December 2025 and a successful crowdfunding campaign was launched to put out a belated farewell album, Jammah Tammah!, with unreleased songs, featuring all the musicians that were part of the line-up at some point. It is a hybrid of vintage live tracks, new studio recordings and fresh vocals - Huizing is a teetotaller now and he felt that his singing suffered from the beverages he had downed before hitting the stage back in the day.
