Japanese ska/punk band "Kemuri's"
latest release may be a bit hard to track down, unless you buy
imports. This particular album is not being released in the United
States, although it's a shame it isn't. "Kemuri's"
brand of happy, speed ska/punk is a great spirit lifter.
Among the more notable songs on the album
is "Birthday," a happy ska song with lots of horns.
"Nite Drive" goes reggae (and instrumental) with that
nice slow kind of reggae beat to back sax solos. "Heart
Beat," "PMA (Positive Mental Attitude)," "Tiny
Square Room," "Kanasimiyo" (this one's in Japanese),
"Father's Mountain" (more reggae than ska, but great
use of horns) and "Along The Way" (ska/rock this time)
are all songs that just add to the "happy" feel of
the CD.
If you're into the ska/punk or ska/reggae
type of music, this album is even worth buying as an import if
you live in the U.S. Internationally, it should be available
at your local record store. Either way, it's a fun investment. |
