5.0 out of 5 stars It's not ska, it's not punk, it's not rock but it's great, December 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Chawalaleng (Audio CD)

When I bought this CD at Amazon.com I expected some catchy ska/skunk band but the pilfers are not. My mom asked me if this was Bob Marley but no, there sure are some raggea elements, but it's not even close to Bob. Some songs sound a little like early Dog eat Dog, but it's different. I can't really explain how the pilfers sound like but I know one thing. I love any kind of ska or punk and this is my favorite CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most progressive, forward leaning band in the scene., February 12, 2003

It is an absolute tragedy that this band broke up. The Pilfers are the only Ska band that pushed the envelope, and were taking the music and scene in a whole new direction. It is a shame this band isn't bigger than it is. It combines ska with techno, with reggae and punk to form a mind-blowing combination of anthems, ballads, dance hall blowouts, and in-your-face energy. The music is ska-derived, with a fresh hip-hop/electro element and punk/reggae progression. It's difficult to describe as the music is so unique. Solidarity, unity, the album is uplifting and revitalizing to the listener. The band is even better live than recorded, and the show I went to in Atlanta had more energy than any show I've been to in the last five years. If you are even remotely interested in the scene, buy this album, and see where ska could have gone. These guys were on the cutting edge of the fourth-wave, and unfortunately, were a band before their time. Coolie, Vin, wish you guys were still around. Thanks for the best album I've bought in years.
