Reviews for Curse of the Unsinkable Ship

The first rounds of reviews have started coming in for the new album.  Here's what the critics have had to say so far:

First DJ Sizzly reviews the advance EP Apocalypso Now:

"Oh, this is fun, goslings! Johnny Cakes and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypso have released an EP - Apocalypso Now - in advance of their full length album entitled, "Curse of the Unsinkable Ship". There's a total of seven tracks on the EP. Four absolutely superb tunes and three snippets of their manager spewing hilarious amounts of vulgarity."

Next, we have a review of the full length from Jerry Actually of Upstarter:

"At the end of the day, what you in Curse of the Unsinkable Ship is a none-too-serious, but seriously fun blend of ska heavy rock-n-roll. If you’re at all curious, check ‘em out here: http://www.reverbnation.com/johnnycakes Seriously check ‘em out. This band has a steel drum player. How cool is that?"

 Round  Magazine has a piece about the motivation to one of the songs on the new album and Gary Schwind of Schwindy's Indie Spotlight says:

"Johnny Cakes is a great band just because it incorporates so many different influences into its music. How many bands do you know that you could classify as acoustic-calypso-ska-metal-country-comedy? OK, so it's a bit of a mouthful, but the band really does incorporate all of those facets into its music. If you want an album that is just fun, pick up this album next week."

Finally, there is a review by Leilani Polk of Creative Loafing:

"Johnny Cakes and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypso deliver a sea-flecked sonic adventure full of droll and occasionally absurd narratives in their fresh-pressed full-length, The Curse of the Unsinkable Ship. " 

The CD release is tomorrow.  Come join us!
