The Planet Smashers|Unstoppable Released 9.05 Stomp Records
The Planet Smashers are back with yet another solid album
from these giants of Canadian Ska. If you are not familiar
with the Planet Smasher’s sound you can expect catchy
horn lines, sing-along choruses and hooky two-tone influenced
ska, well informed by modern punk and occasionally 60’s
era ska. On this album the Smashers returned to the studio
with Chris
Murray as a producer who they used on their seminal album, Life of the Party and again came away with solid
songs and production. Overall, it’s no great departure
from previous Smasher’s records. They’re at their
best when they are writing catchy pop-ska songs and have mastered
this craft, creating their own sounds while proving themselves
to be one of the best live acts on the road today. Standout
tracks include “Bullets to the Ground” (check
out the video for this song), “Raise Your Glass”
(their latest classic party anthem), and “Bad Mood”
(their latest light-hearted look at an unpleasant side of
relationships). If you are familiar with the Planet Smashers
you know what to expect and you won’t be disappointed.
If not then this is a good place to start in addition to the
previously mentioned Life of the Party album.
