Yesterday, we posted news of the Green Room Rockers / Pinstripes split 10″ and today, we bring you a stream of this record. The release was put out by Dashiki Clout which is Dave from Mustard Plug’s label. The bands play killer roots ska ala Westbound Train and the Aggrolites. It should be noted that due to a mistake at the pressing plant, the labels were put on the wrong sides of the record, but other than that, this is one top notch release. The jackets are hand-screened, hand-numbered, and there is a download coupon. The pressing is out of 500+ split somewhat evenly amongst the 2 colors. And there is a test pressing contest. Get one while you can.
And remember you can stream the album and share it with others by embedding html on any site that takes html. Enjoy.

This album is 100% legit boss sounds! I can’t keep this record off my turntable, or my speakers below a reasonable volume.
do yourself a favor and get this shit!

I picked up this record from the Green Room Rockers in NYC two weeks back. One helluva of a strong release! It is a refreshing relief to know that there are two up and coming ska/reggae revival bands from the Midwest, of all places.. outside of the Forthrights and Royal City Riot, we don’t have much fresh music of that type here in the Big A.
The horns are blistering, the rhythm section rock-steady, and the bands’ two styles are complementary, while maintaining much individuality. Believe me when I say that this record hasn’t left my turntable yet.. Check these boys out before they blow up!
