Description
Local ska band Whiskey Avengers aren't really a ska band anymore. On their third album, Dead Man Rockin' they slowed down a bit and have come into their own, producing their best, most concise record to date. Unlike most ska bands, the Whiskey Avengers' roots are firmly planted in hip-hop; it was originally a side project of two members of the rap group Language Arts Crew. They learned how to make albums from their days as rappers—they wrote, recorded and piecemealed songs together in the studio first before playing them live, often times with one or two members writing all the parts. Between recording their last album and this one, they lost their horn section. Rather than try to recreate the group that they were, they adjusted—hastening their move away from ska. - Aaron Carnes sanjose.comMore Info
