Finnish ska legends The Blaster Master prove once again that there is more to Finland than gloomy metal-bands, saunas, and air-guitar championships. On their latest album "Rude Boy Life", the five-piece troupe have revitalised their energy to serve up a charismatic musical cocktail full of Finnish wit and in-your-face energy.
The band has been around since 1996 and this is their 4th full length record. We have released it here, stateside, with some tasty live bonus tracks for you! And alternate artwork and layout.
Their music is rooted in the 2-tone tradition of bands like Specials, Madness and Bad Manners. But like many other Finnish bands, they manage to produce a very unique formula, incorporating latin, swing jazz, rock, Motown-soul and pop sensibilities. The band has similar sounds to other Megalith recording artists such as The BiG, Three Minute Warning and The Toasters. If you dig the medium-fast paced ska, with social commentating lyrics, you're sure to enjoy this latest installment into our ever growing roster!
