John Monopoly – Head Shaking Timer in the Heart of the Strategy – Review

September 1, 1995

Johnathan Comey’s distinctive vocals teeter between mellow croon and outrage. Rick Hiller on bass and Steve Thomas on drums, never ceases to amaze.

I was disappointed with this new offering from these ska masters. Resident ska experts Stacey and Opie agree with me: Something is missing from OoLooLoo.

Krug – Review

June 1, 1995

If the name’s not cool enough for you, the music is. These Canadians bash out their pissed off barrage in the tradition of field artillery and napalm.
