Feature in Incognito Music Magazine
Several of the tracks from our new album Curse of the Unsinkable Ship were featured in Incognito Music Magazine in a regular column called Funny Sunday. See, it's not just us who thinks that we're funny!
"There is one song on the new album that I can never listen to just once: “Ode to the Men’s Room Stall.” Yes, it really is toilet humor, but that’s the genius of it. Everyone has been is a stall that has been covered in graffiti. And as this band ably points out, the graffiti is pretty much the same wherever you go. You’ll see who’s a slut, bad poetry, and drawings of dongs, among other things. Just ask yourself this: have you ever been inspired to write a song about bathroom graffiti? Johnny Cakes: 1, you: 0. And this song (a honky-tonkin’ departure from the band’s usual sound) is super-catchy. Unless you’re totally averse to toilet humor, you might just find yourself singing this song throughout the day."

Album Review in Punk News
The new album, Curse of the Unsinkable Ship, got a review in Punk News and got rated 4.5 out of 5 stars. Not bad for gutter calypso:
"A ska album that's not only a concept record, but loaded with enough punk and Caribbean steelpan influence, rarely comes around these days butThe Curse of the Unsinkable Ship by Johnny Cakes and The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypso does more than enough to justify why you should be taking note of their quirky endeavors, their profane outlook on life, and their infusion of everything you need to laugh your ass off at a fun record."Read the full review here.
