A couple of years ago The Aggrolites coined the term 'Dirty Reggae' to describe their sound. This term could easily have been coined as a reference to this band. The Furios have gone threw some major changes in the past little while. The Vancouver ska outfit has signed a record deal with Megalith Records ( home of such notables as New York Ska Jazz Ensemble & The Toasters ), as well as Canadian label Bacteria Buffet records, and has also abandoned any attempts to squeeze themselves into the standard clean-cut ska-punk genre focusing on creating a grassroots musical movement that focuses on their fans and not commercial airplay.
Through the good and the bad – They’ve persevered well and this release is solid proof that these newly crowned kings of the Vancouver ska scene are making their mark with their fool proof recipe of ska, punk,reggae, urban rhythms and high energy.
The songs could easily fall under the usual ‘party ska’ label, but many lyrics have a neo-political freedom rock element that gives the music both a body and a mind that goes beyond the usual “pick-it-up” rhetoric. Though a good number of people who have encountered The Furios’ live performances may find the tracks a little tame in retrospect to their kinetic high energy sets – the album is a fine point of reference for when you want music with the all the right elements; Mind body and soul.
