I reviewed Johnny Cakes and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypso awhile back and really enjoyed their sound and how they add steele drums to it. They really have created their own tasty caribbean ska whitetrash sound.these guys continue to push the envelope not just in a different kind of ska sound but with their songs "eternally missing you!","pee in the butt (summertime jamboree spectacular acoustic marmalade version)" and "dna" which all indicate some sort of sex act including the ass. "Dna'in particular claims to teach you how to play a Johnny Cakes song which I'm pretty sure it does but it ends up not just teaching you the chords to learn the song but you listen as the singer sings the chords off and also is brilliantly singing about his d (meaning dick of course) being in a females a (ass) then at the end of the song he says the police would be so unhappy if they could see my d (dick) in a minor. The song although quite controversial is brilliant on how they thought it up and actually has to be one of my favorite songs on the album. Just quite clever how they pulled it off. They do a cover of harry belafonte's "jump in the line" and might I add they pull it off with flying colors. Their album "Rise of the Pink Flamingos' is a skapocalyptic adventure and masterpiece from start to finish with the exception of a few songs.they also mention on the back of their record tha they're well known degenerates and that they're not responsible for any degeneration caused by listening to this album. This concludes my review of Johnny Cakes and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypso's album "Rise of the Pink Flamingos" 10!, for fans of Mephiskapheles, Voodoo Glow Skulls and Big D and the Kids Table
best songs "swimming in the summer", "commando", "acid mouth", "dna","jump in the line", "something in the air(featuring Tom Connors)", "surf and destroy" worst songs "pee in the butt" and" kansas here we come

Anyways, overall this was great review of the new album Rise of the Pink Flamingos. If you have not heard it yet, give it listen. There is a music player on the sidebar of this blog primed and ready to play it for you.
