5 out of 5 stars The Pilfers--Start of a Revolution.......2004-04-26

This album is amazing. Growing up in the ska scene in Chicago through the late 1990's, this album made it all huge to me. Great guitar riffs, provacative lyrics, and great bass make this album one of my top five.

5 out of 5 stars The most progressive, forward leaning band in the scene........2003-02-13

It is an absolute tragedy that this band broke up. The Pilfers are the only Ska band that pushed the envelope, and were taking the music and scene in a whole new direction. It is a shame this band isn't bigger than it is. It combines ska with techno, with reggae and punk to form a mind-blowing combination of anthems, ballads, dance hall blowouts, and in-your-face energy. The music is ska-derived, with a fresh hip-hop/electro element and punk/reggae progression. It's difficult to describe as the music is so unique. Solidarity, unity, the album is uplifting and revitalizing to the listener. The band is even better live than recorded, and the show I went to in Atlanta had more energy than any show I've been to in the last five years. If you are even remotely interested in the scene, buy this album, and see where ska could have gone. These guys were on the cutting edge of the fourth-wave, and unfortunately, were a band before their time. Coolie, Vin, wish you guys were still around. Thanks for the best album I've bought in years.
