Melbourne Ska Orchestra – Sierra Kilo Alpha

Originally published on Alt Media

Fun, funky and vast. Three words that describe Melbourne Ska Orchestra’s second album.

From the outset the tunes immediately uplift all spirits with their infectiously jolly melodies. Each track has a weight and punchiness to the sound, which the group says was their goal when they opened up input to any member that wanted to contribute, with 23 musicians taking up the chance.

Across the 11 tracks the quintessential Ska sound is the driving force and makes for a fun filled weekend listen.
