The Kingpins are celebrating their 10th anniversary this year and launching a 6th studio release in June 2004. The band is touring through the States and Canada in May and June 2004! They recently played sold out shows at the Magic Stick in Detroit (500 people) and the Metro in Chicago (1,100 people) and last summer played to a very vocal 50,000 strong crowd at the Montreal Int'l Jazz Festival - not to mention several appearances on the Warped Tour. They have been featured on TV, Video channels and film soundtracks. This high-energy uplifting female fronted band plays a unique blend of ska. Their set is dominated by their own 80’s flavoured compositions (described by music lovers as Elvis Costello’s pop influence meets Blondie with a touch of new-wave), some traditional rocksteady ballads sung by The Queen of Ska herself as well as instrumentals. They WILL get your crowd dancing!

Story behind the song
It's about a stalker... Written from the perspective of the stalker... Part of it actually happened and it was pieced together from little run-ins...
Lyrics
Without a witness Without a word in edgewise I never thought I'd tell you Flame is burning bright Don't you feel the same about me When you pass me on the street I'm the one who makes you look over your shoulder Is it everything I am that turns you colder? Forget about it Forget I smashed your window And all the shattered pieces Flame is burning bright Don't you feel the same about me When I call you on the phone I'm the one who makes you look over your shoulder I'm the virus deep inside that's taking over Is it everything I am that turns you colder? You're the one to blame Cause you don't feel the same about me When I tell you all my secrets I'm the one who makes you look over your shoulder I'm the virus deep inside that's taking over Is it everything I am that turns you colder?

Great bouncy production and fantastic playing. I love this tune, so much I had to play it again straight away. Ska is very much alive and in good health. I've added it to one of my stations (Radio Arcadio) Well done
