20th Anniversary release from the best damn Ska band from Down Under featuring 8 new tracks and plenty of your favorites remastered. The album opens with “Sangria,” and it could be one of the best Porkers songs ever. It features everyone’s favorite lunatic Fishbone member Angelo Moore on saxophone. The song is so catchy and you’ll be humming it in your sleep, in the car to work and just all day. It gets stuck in your head! Sangria is a mix of calypso, reggae and Ska. I know its not to be compared because this track is better but think of “The Lion Sleeps tonight” and throw in your favorite Porkers ska mash up and you get “Sangria.”

The other favorite of mine is “Huntsman.” The song is cross between Reggae and Metal. One minute you want to chill and bop your head to the reggae beat, the next you want to boot stomp and start moshing. On top of 8 new tracks, you get a few classics like “Aporkalypso,” “Skankin Carpark Blues,” and “Too Big For Your Boots.” Its hard to think that the Porkers have been around for 20 years in some shape or form, and I hope they continue to push on. The Porkers are a fun band and especially enjoyable to see live. Let’s hope they venture over to America again!

Bottom Line:
Notable Tracks: Sangria, Huntsman, Something’s Wrong (with my radio), Enlightening Strike, and all the old favorites of course!
