Review by: Samuel Fowler
If emo is dead, ska punk belongs in pre history, back when life was a
primordial sludge oozing about greasilly all over the place. Today
it’s dead, Very VERY dead.
So assuming unlikely circumstances where generic ska era HHN /Deck
Cheese might still appeal then I imagine this might conceivably be of
interest. Noodling guitar lines, a large pile of assorted brass
instruments, over enunciated vocals: its all there. I never liked this
particular edge of the skacore scene at the time myself, and
apparently time has not altered this. To their credit they have at
least tried to do a few interesting things, but unfortunately this
hasn’t exactly improved matters. The songs don’t really evoke
anything, and I couldn’t really gather enough interest to work out
what the vocals or themes are about.
Standout Riot aren’t bad like some of the scenes leading lights today
(Hi Sonic Boom Six!), just not”¦ interesting.
