(scott)-this here is a good one, as though we'd expect anything else from Jonder........really cool collection ofska-rock cover tunes, NO excuse for you to miss this one, bad-ass from jump.

I say, "ska punk". You say, "No thanks." But THE VALKYRIANS are better than most bands of their genre.
PUNKROCKSTEADY is their covers album of punk, new wave and post punk classics. They even got TV Smith from the Adverts to sing with them on Gary Gilmore's Eyes. Check out the tracklist:

ReplyDeleteThanks, guys! I've been a fan since I heard their "Astro Zombies" a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteI say, "ska punk". You say, "No thanks."
ReplyDeletehaha you read my mind...however, i cannot resist a 70s punk cover album.
Hey orangeopera, that's exactly why I put that disclaimer there! I like the way the Valkyrians took the time to create a suitable ska arrangement for each tune. They show a lot of love for the original songs. They are from Finland. I don't know where the Dub Kennedys are from, but they do "Holiday in Cambodia" and "Too Drunk To Fuck" in dub style with some spoken word samples from Jello. Nouvelle Vague and the Valkyrians also do "Too Drunk To Fuck".
