Pocket Billiards - S/T white vinyl LP
Local label Punkerama Records teamed up with Norn Iron's premier ska-punk outfit Pocket Billiards for this vinyl reissue of their self-titled debut CD album. Its a limited edition of 300 copies on white vinyl with 5 extra tracks and you know you just have to have a copy!
This 9 piece ska outfit from Belast have evolved into one helluva band and on the evidence provided on this album I'd rank them today second only to the mighty Specials themselves. Gotta admit I was pleasantly blown away by the quality on offer here. 15 songs choc full of witty, intelligent lyrics spliced with Belfast humour and catchy-as-fuck chorus's. 15 tunes to make a crippled man get up and dance! Pocket Billiards fuse ska with elements of punk, dub and heavy riffs to create their own original sound which conjures up images of a Specials / Clash / Piranhas/ Pogues hybrid with even a little touch of Urban Voodoo Machine thrown in for good measure! So grab a copy while you can and sing / dance along to such wonderful ditties as Dirty Money, Belfast Town, SPIDE, Don't Scratch My Soca, Drunken Waster etc etc.
You can purchase the Lp (or CD) from Dragon Records, Belfast or online from http://www.punkerama.com/
