Rx Bandits – “…And The Battle Begun (20th Anniversary)” (Released 31st July 2026)

Rx Bandits’ landmark album, …And the Battle Begun, marked a defining creative leap for the band, channeling intricate musicianship, dynamic arrangements, and socially charged lyricism into one of the most influential independent rock records of its era.

Originally released in 2006, the album captured the band at a creative crossroads — expanding far beyond the ska-punk roots they emerged from and embracing a broader spectrum of progressive rock, jazz fusion, reggae, dub, psych, and melodic experimentation. The result was a deeply ambitious and emotionally resonant album whose impact continues to be felt twenty years later.

In celebration of the album’s 20th anniversary, Sargent House release a newly remastered version of the full album alongside four previously unreleased live recordings. The reissue also commemorates the first album ever released by the label, honoring the lasting legacy of a record that continues to inspire listeners and stands as a defining chapter in Rx Bandits’ history.
