Planet Smashers - Mixed Messages (Audio CD, 2014)

These thirteen songs are filled with energy and a sense of fun that will even get this old guys ass up of the couch and start to skank around the living room as if I was still a youngster. This group from Montreal, Quebec has fallen off of my radar since I move to America ten years ago, but the old albums were still getting played and now I have to go out and get the ones that I have missed since moving here. I always liked ska and this band has never failed to impress me, but this one really stands out. “Never Die Old” kicks things off with a bang and gets you into a nice groove that continues into “Tear It Up” with the fantastic organ playing that makes it a stand out. My favorite song is “You Guys Are Assholes, Let’s Party” which will definitely be a live highlight with the sing-a-long, drinking song vibe. “Scientific Explanation” starts off with a cool 8 bit opening that made me miss the old video games of my youth and has a nice mix of ska and new wave.
