AFTER HOURS

hard rock, ska, aussie hip-hop, traditional ska, ska-jazz

After Hours is expertly skilled in all flavors of ska. The instrumental "Tropical Bliss" blends latin and ska into fast-moving perfection, while "Mad Hearted Woman" (with Greg Lee providing lead vocals) bounces and jumps into the ska sounds of old, complete with a "Dizzy" Johnny Moore-esque trumpet solo by Elliott Caine. The seductive horn playing found throughout the album is enough to put you in the right kind of mood, especially on "Because" with its laid-back lounge music feel which still manages to skank.
