Baile De Los Locos - Voodoo Glow Skulls

Advantages: Amazing Skacore
Disadvantages: More of the same?

...This is the latest offering from prestigious American Skacore legends Voodoo Glow Skulls. The band have been around for some time now, but on this new album they show no signs of slowing down and are still creating the amazing music they always were. There are 14 tracks on display here and none will disappoint. It may be argued by some that the band have produced greater albums in the past, but when you are a band with a string of amazing albums then it's always going to be hard to live up to people's expectations. Personally I think the band have done well here and come up with another fine album of Skacore greatness. I have always been a huge fan of the band and this album certainly doesn't rock my faith in any way, shape, or form.

...Everyone in my family gets either Avon perfume or aftershave for each birthday and Christmas without fail, so it's no surprise that my mam got me a bottle of Avon True Glow perfume this year. I'll be honest, a lot of the Avon perfumes are not to my taste, and I find it irritating that you can't test them before using them - I know they do scented pages, but they don't seem very accurate to me!

The bottle is not the worst I have seen from Avon, but personally I prefer something a bit prettier and more feminine, and also I found that because of the unusual shape the lid was quite...

...Despite touring with the bands like The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and the Offspring(who are excellent live) the Voodoo Glo Skulls have never seemed to manage to reach the level of their peers. Its hardly down to laziness either, with 'Symbolic' being their sixth album in seven years. Always up for a party, the Californian ska-punk group throw together a wild mix of dub, funk, cheesy guitar solos and hip hop and, as ever it doesnt take long to get into the swing of things. However the mad cap horn section are let loose and ensures a case of everything going radio rental, with 'El Mas Chingon' featuring Reverend Horton Heat, providing a full on skank and rock and roll fest. Unfortunately, they lose marks on account of a mediocre version of 'I shot the sheriff'...don't even go there!!... Read review
