    This is a band from Germany with a mix of ska, metal, punk and hardcore. This is immediately clear when you listen to the first track, Ghandi, with its blow-section and the heavy guitars and vocalizing in the vein of the Supertones. Real skacore. Not produced as smoothly as the Supertones but at least as enjoyable. Another heavy party-rocker is the speedy ska-song Tower. The guitars sound heavy and thick on this album like they should. Four of the songs are in the German language. Overall, I get an impression of a talented band. There's a lot of variety as other songs explore different musical areas with rapping vocals or funky rhythms. The CD ends with a hidden live-track which makes clear this band is abled to make a concert a party. If you want to hear people having a good time, listen to this song. Encore!
