This five track EP is quite cool. The quick and easy way to describe it is “ska,” but there’s more to it than that. The final track is the oddity. That one’s a remix. Although normally I’m skeptical of such things, it works pretty well. The rest of the disc is great. There is a variety of sound here, but it still all fits nicely together. If you dig ska and like it loud, this is for you.

There is what sounds like a bar conversation to open this. Then it pounds out to some hard edged music. This is bouncy ska with some great layers of sound over the top. The vocal arrangement is lush and this is just plain fun. The contrast of horn section to fuzz-buried guitar is cool. The vocal hooks are catchy. It’s an unusual, but very effective piece of music.

As cool as the two openers were, this one blows those away. It’s got a fast paced infectious sound and the vocal hooks are really catchy. This is just fun. If it doesn’t get you moving, you might be dead. I absolutely love this song. The horn section really gets a chance to shine.
