Roddy Radiation of The Specials fronts his ska tinged rockabilly/soul outing- the songwriting style is familiar to anyone who digs Concrete Jungle, Rat Race or Hey Little Rich Girl. Great stuff- ace guitars, pumping riddim, a bit of Clash like tood and rockabilly swing. The Collective AKA- Party time pleasures agogo from this Punk/New Wave/Mod/2 Tone tribute jamboree- so you get Specials, Jam, Madness, Clash– all done marvelously well. Playing for an extra long time so get your loafers resoled maybe, it’s gonna be Dance Crazetastic… Steve Hooker – super charged dirty Essex Delta rocknroll trio, get a reet good and grinding riffology going and take it to the dancefloor with a sleazy Link Wray twang, some rockabilly rebellion, bluesology and Diddley beat too…damn good.
