Infectious ska from Guatemala

I searched the keyword ska on Bandcamp and The Killer Tomato caught my attention for a few reasons. First, the cover art certainly does catch the eye. Second, the band name is pretty cool and unforgettable. And finally, this is a ska band from Guatemala. I don’t know about you, but I can’t name any other bands from Guatemala. So yeah, I’d say this band fits the Incognito profile pretty well.

Then there is the music. Specifically those horns. Do yourself a favor and listen to “Confundido.” All I can say about the horns in that song (especially at the end) is “Wow!” There are some pretty impressive bass lines on Las Dias Como Hoy also. If bass is your thing, check out “Una Vez Mas.” And don’t think I’m going to leave out the guitar either. There is some excellent surf guitar in “El Viaje.”

I don’t understand most of the lyrics, but I don’t feel like I have to. That isn’t going to keep me from moving to this music. This is infectious ska with a healthy amount of punk. The album is incredibly well done and is available now on Bandcamp for the low price of only $2. What else can you get for $2? Not a lot. So fork over your two bucks and get this album. Just know that when you listen to it, it will be impossible to sit still.
