Mr. P. Reviews Dope Music
Roots Creation and Matisyahu Release New Single: “Ocean Moon” (Live)
the perfect summer tune to dance and relax to.
Sorry Sweetheart Releases New Single: “50 First Dates”
This band would have fit in great at Camp Punksylvania this last weekend!
Ritmo Lokura Release New Single: “Maria”
I was immediately hit with the Latin fusion in this rad as fuck ska band.
Sotah Release New Song: “Division Line”
Back in August I reviewed “Sotah” by Sotah and was touched by the poignance and sadness incorporated into a ska song. Today I’m reviewing their newest song, “Division Line” featuring none other than Dicky Barret of The Mighty Mighty Bosstones.
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.
Nina’s Yard Party Releases New Single: “Deader than Dead”
I did a review of Nina’s Yard Party’s first release “Boom Beat Your Heart” a few months back, so I was stoked to get this new song, “Deader than Dead”!
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!
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.
Distorted Waves Relases New Song: “Imprisonment”
Distorted Waves new song, “Imprisonment”, starts more as a mid-tempo reggae tune and then moves about halfway through into a much more fast paced, more ska-ish song
Get Wrecked Releases New Single: Get Shreked and Die Tryin'
Get Wrecked’s new single, “Get Shreked and Die Tryin'“ is a fucking ripper of a crossover song.
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.
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.
The Going Rate Release New Skangle: “Beard Bones”
The Going Rate has me ready to go to their next fucking show. Super catchy ska horn melodies, sick vocals and ska rhythms that are calling to me get up and start skanking.
Gaba Groove’s new ska punk single, “Fire” premiered today…just in time for their show at the Whiskey with The Dickies, so give it a listen and get out to that show to sing along.
While not breaking any ska punk ground, the song does lay back a bit more into that reggae vibe which as fun vibe to the song. I could totally see this being on an Asian Man Records comp back in the 1990s.
