Cartoon Violence op vrijdag 8 mei terug in De Cactus!One of the fastest rising talents on the current UK ska scene.
Hailing from the wilds of Mid Wales, their line up features former 3 Minute Warning keyboardist/vocalist Chuzz & former Smoke Like A Fish guitarist/vocalist Tran.
The Cartoon Violence sound is an insanely catchy affair that mixes super bouncy 2 tone ska with distinctly British sounding pop & indie stylings. Their songs capture the classic Brit Pop storytelling vibe of the likes of The Kinks, Madness, Squeeze, The Hotknives & Parklife-era Blur, with each tune lyrically being like a mini kitchen sink drama in its own right!
QUOTES AND REVIEWS
“Unbelievable! This band is great. Britpop Twotone?! The Beatles meets Madness?! I don’t know how to describe it but I love it”
-Tim (Vegas) Mighty Mighty Bosstones
“From the first chords of the opening track, Vauxhall Nova, you’re hooked and wanting more, Jangly pianos, real life lyrics… A CD full of contagious tunes that I bet will go down a storm live. Fingers crossed this lot continue because their potential sounds tremendous”
