“NON STOP SKA-PUNK ACTION FROM FRONT TO BACK TO GET YOU DANCING IN NO TIME” From being part of the first Mexican Punk Ska bands on the Vans Warp tour to opening for the Dropkick Murphys in Mexico, this Ska piece knows how far hard work and the DYI approach can take you. After all it’s not every day you tour with bands like the Voodoo Glow Skulls and the infamous NOFX during their Tijuana tour! Los Kung Fu Monkeys are a ska punk band based out of Canada and Mexico. Formed in 1997, when brothers Tarek and Hassan Limas and Bernardo Leos joined their talents and forces to start Los Kung Fu Monkeys. Their latest release is on Canada’s infamous ska punk label Stomp Records titled “Rudeboy Rockers”. This 13 track album starts off upbeat right off the start with their hit song “Taking It Easy” that’s featured in their first video off this album. A fast catchy upbeat progressive song with some horn work and easy vocal range that’s catchy to sing along to will make you easily look at the positive instead of the negative. Followed next by “Stretch your hand” which is a low tempo laid back groove, the next upbeat track “See you in the end” has a lyrical meaning and again those easy choruses that catch your attention and lift you into good spirits. This release has that ska street punk fuse that works like “Bombs Away” that has that rolling tom work and more a classic punk sound with bass lines and then a back ann forth horn section. The album has lyrical content that is easy to relate to, touching base on life decisions, bad luck, relationships and the working class. There is also piano and organ work throughout but really shines on “Move On” where there’s a scale solo that follows through. This band even though they have toured throughout different continents and countries they still pay homage to their roots on tracks “TJ ES M I HOGAR” and “Mas Que Radio” Mexican punk tracks that are catchy and true to their heritage. Starting off 2015 this band is going to go far as their songs are catchy resulting in you driving erratically like an estranged mental case, head nodding to the point where people may just think you have a health issue or some form of mental issue while smiling fiercely shaking back and forth serenading yourself. Enjoy.
