Mad Butcher Records


The Mad Butcher Records site is a goldmine of MP3s: 99 and counting, and I've listened to most of them. It's a crazy mix of genres, but here are a few to get you started.

Ska-J turns a classic into a logical ska choice with In The Mood For Ska. The Men In The Street is a pretty cool instrumental. Umbrella Bed has a funny, funny song in Pant Load. The Skaliners are old school in Our Way. The Zwooks have a really cute one in A Shoulder Like You (Jason Castro, take note). The Baboonz with rock it out with their ska-punk Back Out-O-Space. Pama International brings on the love in Truly Madly Deeply. Plowking has something to start your Perfect Days. The name might give you the wrong impression, but Shanty Town has a song that's exactly the way it's called: Sweet and Lowdown. Arpioni's Malacabeza, with its "Oi! Mamma Mia!" lyrics is my top pick. I'm starting to wonder: am I the only one enjoying this? And am I missing the anti-fascist/anti-racist messages here?
