Loudog - Party Thieves

About This Blog (Click)

Good old fashioned ska punk right out of europe.  These guys aren't spectacular, but they do experiment with a nice range of ska related genres and come up with some genuinely interesting arrangements.  Songs like "Politicians" offer some great acoustic sections, while others like "Suzie Blue" showcase their more creative side, creating a very 1950s sound.  There's even a little jazz and swing thrown into the mix for good measure.  At the very least it'll put you in a good mood.

Yo Man Go - Discography

About This Blog (Click)

The latest addition to ifyoumakeit's fine growing catalogue of free albums, Yo Man Go almost sounds like something I'd hate, but somehow their songs are inoffensive to my ears.  They're kind of whinny, but at the same time not.  Hard to explain really.  They keep just enough roughness around the edges to maintain an appeal.
