5.0 out of 5 stars singular, indescribably sublime, political reggae-punk, August 11, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Onwards & Upwards (Audio CD)

much as Dick of the Subhumans and Citizen Fish loves to tell us of the evolution of man from the fish, this seminal reggae/ska-influenced political punk band is the missing link between the righteous anger of the former, and the more laid back, Douglas Adams-esque perspective of the latter. fully as good as either the subhumans or citizen fish, yet strangely overlooked. must-have for all interested in this category of music.

Listening to this album, or any Culture Shock/Citizen Fish song is an escape into the unknown where boundaries have been destroyed and rule has ceased to be. The singers melodical, aggressive lyrics swim around in the quick guitar riffs, bouncing bass and snapping drum beats. Listening to this band opens your mind to the harsh realities of the present and to the more prevelant future. Be careful when you listen to these guys, you might actually learn something. They've combined wit, wisdom and intelligence with wonderfully brilliant reggae/ska music to give you something more powerful than an enima.
