Their sound was a perfect mixture of past and actual sounds.
The band was formed in 1993 by Tony Nwachukwu and Charlie Dark. Charlie Dark was a part time journalist and DJ and had been approached by James Lavelle to produce and engineer tracks for his Mo Wax record label.
Their first release, Vibes, Scribes and Dusty 45's Ep, contained the down tempo classic Contemplating Jazz. Featuring the vocals of third member Roba El-Essawy, Attica Blues' sound contained the trademark trip-hop aspects like heavy beats, vocals and deep dark atmospheres. They released a follow up album, Blueprint.
Attica Blues were also often solicited for remixing and producing.
After the Mo Wax album Blueprint, they released a second album, Test,Don't Test on Sony Records.

Attica Blues Lyrics
Know you as a jet black angel
Watching over me like cctv
24/7 you see everything
365 and i'm no mastermind
Dealt with mood swings mad behavior
Controlling me like you own me
Feels like it's your world i just live here
365 and it's bad comprimise
I want to know X2
Am i what you want or am i what you need X2
Patience wearing sent to test me
Pressure building mercury rising
Feels close to overload, feels close to overload
365
I want to know X2
I wanna know
Am i what you want or am i what you need X4
What do you want X2
Am I what you want X2
Watching over me like cctv
24/7 you see everything
365 and i'm no mastermind
Controlling me like you own me
Feels like it's your world i just live here
365 and it's bad comprimise
I want to know X2
Am i what you want or am i what you need X2
Patience wearing sent to test me
Pressure building mercury rising
Feels close to overload, feels close to overload
365
I want to know X2
I wanna know
Am i what you want or am i what you need X4
What do you want X2
Am I what you want X2
