Mr. P. Reviews Dope Music
Brad Pittance and The Pirates Release New Single: “One Night Stand”
From the very start “One Night Stand” by Brad Pittance and The Pirates took me back to the mid-90s when I was in high school, and I had just started getting into ska. One of my favorite purchases back then was a four-CD compilation called Ska Wars with bands like Judge Dread, Bad Manners, The Selector, and The Loafers. This rad ass song would have fit perfectly on that comp.
Rocket Steadman Release New Single, “Lockdown”
Right on the heels of their previous single that I reviewed, “Kitchen Light”, Rocket Steadman are back with a new skalicious single, “Lockdown” both of which are off their forthcoming album And We Have Lift Off and makes me what to skank and pick it up as much as the last one!
Sorry Sweetheart Release New Single: “Sweatpants (Are All That Fit Me Right Now)”
Sorry Sweatheart’s new single “Sweatpants (Are All That Fit Me Right Now)” bring that 1990’s ska punk that reminds me mostly of bands like Reel Big Fish particularly with the ways the horns are incorporated and the guitar tone.
Asfixia Social Release New Single: Traffic Lights w/ Guest Vocals from D.O.A.’s Joey Shithead!
Asfixia Social bring it all to the table and fucking let it rip with a mix of ska, rap, hardcore, punk, funk, dub all flavored with the Brazilian music of their country. And if that weren’t enough, “Traffic Lights” even has some rad ass guest vocals from Joey Shithead from D.O.A. one of my favorite hardcore punk bands!
Danny Rebel & The KGB Release New Single: “Spiral Eyes”
Danny Rebel and the KGB’s new song “Spiral Eyes” is an example of that classic ska. Fans of ands like The Skatalites, The Pietasters or The Phensic should dig the fuck out of this.
Rocket Steadman Release New Single: “Kitchen Light”
So what do we have here? An eight-piece ska band with dope horn melodies played with punk intensity?
Nina’s Yard Party Releases 1st Single: “Boom Beat Your Heart”
I love it when I hear a song, and I just dig it without any background on the band.
The Fit Release New Single: “Madness Today”
This is some super danceable uptempo old school ska delivered with raspy lead vocals, super catchy backing vocals and a well orchestrated horn section!
Der Butterwegge Released New Single: “Kein Bock”
Der Butterwegge bring me that skacore like I grew up skanking to in the 1990’s with the blasting horns, skankable verses, and big distorted guitar punk choruses.
