St. Petersburg Ska-Jazz Review : Too Good To Be True : CD

Release Date :: November 29th, 2005

From Russia with ska!
The latest world release for one of Russia's finest ska acts. "Too Good To Be True" marks this bands biggest effort to date, with releases spanning the globe. They have released this in Russia and now in the U.S. and Europe with the help of Megalith Records. Our Megalith Records release contains 2 extra tracks no available on the original Russian release.

With 14 sun scorching tracks in the vein of the "big band" ska sound, this albums is sure to be burning up lasers in cd players across the world! The ska-jazz name is a little deceiving as I think they have a lot more upbeat energy and tempos than most "ska-jazz" acts. They remind me of The Scofflaws, if they moved to Russia and got a female vocalist to front the band (although the lead singer is from America!). She has a very refreshing style, sounding like a flapper from the 40s. They also have a bit of that late 90's ska swing sound with the likes of Easy Big Fella and Skavooiee And The Epitones. With a good mix of instrumentals and vocals, this release doesn't let ears go to sleep and keeps the feet moving on the dance floor till the party's over!
