Great album, i'm listening to it as a write this review. Great to chill out, very relaxed and melodic which is what hepcat do best! Come out is my favourite track on this album - its very, very catchy. Hepcat are highly influenced by the likes of the Skatalites and this really shines through on this album - very, very close comparison to first wave ska, keeping the vibes flowing and not given in to the rather annoying trend of annoying, punk inspired wacky, comical 3rd wave ska of recent times (that of which seems to be taking the p*** out of both genres. Recommended for anyone who prefers 1st wave ska, this would probably appeal more to the older audience (the audience with more taste seemingly) Buy it.

Your review's a little lacking in info. as Crutchly says but it's certainly got potential. Hepcat are a pretty cool band. It's good to see a bit of 1st revival stuff. There's nothing wrong with some of the ska/punk bands of today though. It's only a few bands that create a rather comical mix of the two genres (not that I find much wrong with doing that). There's a lot of good stuff out there if you know where to look! Phil :)

Really doesn't tell us enough about the album, if you include things like a track by track analysis, or an in-depth look at the style of the music, put a note in my guestbook and I'll be happy to re-rate it for you.
