Description:
This band is awesome. They're sound is very unique, and really a lot of fun. For someone doesn't listen to any reggae-type music, like myself, these guys are very different, but I think a lot of you guys will enjoy them.

Like most ska music, their songs have an upbeat catchy sound to them. Their music is a lot slower than most ska, but it is really quite enjoyable. All of their songs have a very relaxed feel to them, making them perfect for chilling around the house or with friends (if you're friends don't suck).

Anyway, there isn't a lot else to say about this band. Their sound is too unique for me to accurately describe with words, so take the time to check them out, and if you like what you here, feel free to grab Sounding a Mosaic off me on Soulseek. :)

Description:
Ok, round 2 of Vince's Latin Punk bands. Again, it's in Spanish, and that may put you off, but I love the sound of it. It has that vintage sound, and there's also the Latin/South-Western influenced sound to it in places where it feels very much Mexican. Even if it is just Punk tearing at power chords.

I get the feeling this band will be pretty hit or miss. If you like the vintageness of it, like me, you'll quite enjoy the band. If not, you won't find anything appealing about them really I don't think. Nonetheless, all the instrumentation is well organized and put together, and it isn't as basic as a lot of bands.

If you like them, the first album I recommend looking into is Otros Canciones, I have it on slsk or AIM if anyone is interested, as usual.

Bedouin Soundclash are pretty big here. I've heard one or two songs and I don't mind them. I'll check out this other band, Vince. Although the language barrier kind of ruins it for me.

[Permanent Solution]

I have Sounding a Mosaic, but I don't really like it much. I love Ska, but Reggae isn't as appealing to me, and Bedouin focus too much on Reggae for my tastes.

[Mute Print]

I'm not big into Reggae, but I happen to enjoy Bedouin Soundclash and The Slackers a lot.

I'll check out Attaque 77 in a bit.

[Untitled]

I saw BS live.

I thaught they was alright, but i got bored of them half way through there set in all honesty.

Bedouin Soundclash is real cool from the hastey listen I gave them, although the vocals are iffy. I'mma listen to their stuff more indepth later. I'm sure I'll like it, It's hard to go wrong with acoustic music.

Language barrier aside, Attaque 77 isn't very good. Or just not my style. Whichever.

Vince, this is sposed to be "Expandind your tastes", not "The same genre that's already your favorite...BUT IN A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE". That goes for panda, too. Even if they were pretty decent.

I'm looking forward to it :)

I prefer blues to jazz, but oh well. That's cool.

[Gnarmageddon]

Bedouin Soundclash is meh, and I'm not sure how much more Mexican jibba jabba I can stand.
