The Steady Boys – “Roots”

Bryan Kremkau — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 01:59:19 +0000

Record Label: Do the Dog Records Genre: Ska Band Link: www.myspace.com/thesteadyboysuk The Steady Boys are a bit of a change for Do the Dog Records in that they aren’t a full fledged ska band. The UK band has an Oi! / classic punk rock sound but there’s a few riffs that resemble ska. This debut album is definitely [...]

Rebelution – “Bright Side of Life”

Bryan Kremkau — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 01:35:22 +0000

Record Label: 87 Music Genre: Reggae Band Link: www.rebelutionmusic.com Buy on Amazon.com Rebelution hail from California and play roots reggae mixed in with some rock and even hip-hop. You shouldn’t mix up Rebelution with the UK ska/reggae band Rebelation. Wait, I think I already got them mixed up. In all honesty, I actually prefer the US reggae band Rebelution. I [...]

Record Label: Rock Ridge Music Genre: Ska Band Link: www.daddies.com Buy on Amazon.com People only know the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies for being a swing band; but they also play lots of other styles.

The Last Resort – “You’ll Never Take Us – Skinhead Anthems II”

Bryan Kremkau — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 21:57:28 +0000

Record Label: I Scream Records Genre: Oi! Band Link: www.myspace.com/thelastresortuk Buy on Amazon.com I always like listening Oi! music but I just never listen to it as much as I used to. Perhaps the Last Resort will make me want to listen to some classic Oi! bands like The Business, Cockney Rejects and Anti-Nowhere League, and begin listening to [...]

Video: Don “No Soul” Simmons

Bryan Kremkau — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 16:48:26 +0000

Do any of you remember Amazon Women on the Moon from the early 80s? John Landis directed the movie and it was filled with lots of actors that you’ll recognize. Besides the opening skit with Arsenio Hall, the David Alan Grier skits as Don “No Soul” Simmons was always a highlight for me. Watch a [...]

Record Label: Silver Screen Records Genre: Film Score Buy on Amazon.com Torchwood is a popular BBC show that stars John Barrowman, Eve Myles, Gareth David-Lloyd, and Kai Owen.

Record Label: Silver Screen Records Genre: Film Score Buy on Amazon.com The latest predictable Matthew McConaughey romantic comedy is out of movie theaters and on video already.

Record Label: Lakeshore Records Genre: Soundtrack Buy on Amazon.com The Stepfather is the latest movie I haven’t seen and probably won’t be seeing anytime soon. The movie is a thriller and is about…a Stepfather? I guess a guy comes home from Military school and finds out that his mom banging some random guy. Turns out that guy is [...]
