Swing At Last,
By
This review is from: Zoot Suit Riot (Audio CD)
This is a great cd for swing music. The music is very fast, upbeat and bright. It is very nice to see some interest in this genre again. The only caution about this cd is that some of the themes of the songs are highly questionable for a younger audience. Otherwise, grab your sweetheart, your fedora, a great zoot suit and hit the dance floor!

Hooray for dirty Swing,
By
This review is from: Zoot Suit Riot (Audio CD)
Swing was well before my time, but damnit if it wasn't good music. I am glad a modern band came along to play some swing without treating it like some sappy background music for a church party.
"Zoot Suit Riot" includes some fast-paced swinging (!) tunes about fights with sailors, bady guys, getting drunk, and of course some good old-fashioned questionable romantic pursuits. The lead singer doesn't have the best voice of the decade, or even the year, but he is good enough and he sings like he has something to say. The music backs this up, and the result is an album with the energy we should expect from a dance genre. If anyone is bothered by songs about fightin' and philanderin' and dirty dancin', maybe they should pass on this and go listen to one of those nice wholesome 16th-century operas about rape and murder.

Damm Good Swing Cd.,
By "drummingman" (Stafford United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zoot Suit Riot (Audio CD)
This is a damm good swing cd. Don't listen to the other reviews saying that its Ska. There are only traces of Ska in tracks such as Dr Bones, and Pink Elephant. The band is excellent but they do have a habit of adding extra horns and a piano player don't get me wrong these sound great but it makes me wonder if they would sound as good live. As for the lyrics some may find them offensive but in that case don't buy the cd. My opinion? I thought that the lyrics fitted in well with the songs and the style of music. If you like Neo Swing and bands such as Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and Royal Crown Revue then this cd is defiantly for you.
