Norwegian female ska-pop act Razika has created some buzz on the indie rock scene (they've been reviewed by Pitchfork!)--so much so that you can get a free download of their "Nytt Pa Nytt" ("New On New") cut (off their debut album Program 91) via WNYC's Soundcheck show. (Note the "Al Capone"/"Gangsters"/Roddy Radiation nod at the top of the song...)
Razika is playing tonight at Glasslands Gallery, 289 Kent Avenue in Williamsburg, on a decidedly non-ska bill.
I wouldn't say that just because there's an "off-beat" guitar, it qualifies something as ska. Regardless, this is pretty interesting!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Maybe I should have described them as pop-ska or a ska-pop hybrid!
