Repercussions- CD Review
by Tim Wenger
The ska/punk world has seen many incarnations over the years, and through it all there have always been those bands that stay true to that classic upstroke sound that we all fell in love with as teenagers. The Repercussions maintain that aura with an overdose of two-tone fury jammed inside their new album Observer Effect.
For those who know the genre, it is easy to pick out their influence from bands such as the Specials and Operation Ivy with a dose of ’90s punk-rock flavor thrown in for good taste. “Love it or Leave it” and “Agents” bring out that classic scratchy ska sound, while “MRI” provides the dose of distortion to round out the band’s sound.
The record reflects what their fans have come to love about the band’s live performances- a skank-a-licious dose of toe tappin’ magic that makes it nearly impossible to sit still when you know there is a steady circle to be had, even if you’re alone in the living room.
