** Below is only the parts of the review that pertained to parka kings. **

And The Parka Kings won't let you down. Their contribution, "Whiskey Wine & Roserys", is an up tempo, fast paced ska track that leans heavily on punk influences. Blaring horn lines add intensive bursts of emotion, while the vocals keep everything positive and full of hope. The drums keep everything fast paced and energetic, while the bass keeps it hard. The guitar leads the way, jumping from fast paced ska beats, slower beats that give you a chance to slow down the dance, and then right into melodic punk dives that will send a sudden impact straight through your body, forcing you to jump up and down with glee.

Plus, bands like Telegraph, Suspect Bill, The Parka Kings, and The Eclectics have a bright future in the world of ska. Pick up this CD and flavor some of the bands that will be tearing up the charts in the future. You won't be disappointed (except in a few spots) with this compilation. Overall, this effort deserves an A-.
