Resaka Sonora – Frekuenzia CD (Fire And Flames Music)
Here’s another tremendous music release from a recent Fire And Flames Music batch. I rarely have a chance to write reviews for ska bands, but those politically charged ska-punk bands are even rarer on our pages. Still, when releases like these arrive at our headquarters, they always sound incredible. That’s the case with this most…

Inner Terrestrials – Heart Of The Free LP (Various Labels)
Today, I have the privilege to review the latest full-length material by living legends. There’s no way you got involved with the British anarcho-punk scene and missed Inner Terrestrials. The group roams the underground scene for nearly three decades, went through several lineup changes, toured Europe many times, released five brilliant albums, a handful of…

Radikal Dub Kolektiv – Vinyl Debts 12″ EP (PDV Records)
Recently, I wrote an article about Hellness Centar, a third full-length album by Radikal Dub Kolektiv. For those who somehow missed my recent post, Radikal Dub Kolektiv is a phenomenal dub group from Zagreb, Croatia. The band operates since 2002 and pretty much keeps it active as much as possible. PDV Records recently announced a…

Radikal Dub Kolektiv – Hellness Centar LP (PDV Records)
It’s good to occasionally get back in time, especially if it’s about great music. Today, I would like to talk a little bit more about one of the finest dub bands that emanate from a Balkan region. Radikal Dub Kolektiv are not strangers on a local and international scene, but somehow I felt these guys…

Destroy Babylon – Shapeshifters CD (Music ADD)
Destroy Babylon shapeshifted the sound since their formation and expanded it to a more developed structure throughout the years. Comparing to their previous full-length albums, such as Olligopuzzled, Backyard Babylon, Dub Of Ages Vol.1, and Long Live The Vortex, Shapeshifters has even more to contribute than the preceding recordings. This particular material delivers defined dualities…

Flying Vipers – The Shadow Tape (Music ADD / Jump Up Records)
From our previous experience with Flying Vipers, you can’t possibly go wrong if you loudly blast their tunes over the sound system. There’s something in their artistic expression that draws you to spin their records repetitiously. This Waltham, Massachusets based dub sensation fires engaging echoic tones, which will lead you to hours of good mood…

Flying Vipers w/ Johnny Clarke – Highest Region 7” (Music ADD / Jump Up Records)
Flying Vipers are one of the best contemporary dub acts out there. Their knowledge of writing, composing, arranging relaxing reggae/dub numbers goes beyond comprehension in numerous cases. Even if you put all those qualities aside, there’s still an enormous understanding of finenesses by these experienced musicians, which is not hearable on the records of the…

The Macrotones ft. Iyeoka / Destroy Babylon – Split 7″ (Music ADD)
Today, we’re covering a split 7” record between The Macrotones and Destroy Babylon. This actual release comes as an addition to the Unknown Outpost CD by The Macrotones, including a bonus number by Destroy Babylon filling on the B-side. Both bands have a lot of things in common, and besides being equally good, these bands…

Destroy Babylon – Long Live The Vortex LP (Music ADD)
Today we’re talking about one of the older records by Destroy Babylon that threatens to become a reggae/dub classic in our books. This particular record continuously blasts at our headquarters for nearly a week, and there’s a solid reason for that. Destroy Babylon is a reggae/dub/rock quintet based in Boston, Massachusets, comprised of highly experienced…

The group consists of John Beaudette (bass, guitar, synth), Marc Beaudette (drums, percussion, bird), Zack Brines (organ, piano, clavinet, wurli), and Jay Chamnpany (percussion, controller).

The Slackers – Blue 7” (Pirates Press Records)
The Slackers are proudly keeping the flame of ska music alive since their formation in 1991. This prolific Manhattan, NYC based orchestra is keeping it busy with an exceptional quality being present throughout their entire discography. Their specific blend of ska, rocksteady, reggae, dub, soul, garage rock, and jazz is the main attribute that settles…
