The Checkered Cabs - Driving Towards Supreme Stardom!

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This album is pretty good. Although Caz's (the lead vocalist) voice can get on my nerves at times when she kind of reaches for the notes with her stomach and it sounds like a kind of bellowing sound - it's strange, but some people like it - some people don't. I am one that doesn't. This ranting noise is not found in every song though, which makes "Darling Boy" one of my favorites... it is a really nice song. The Checkered Cabs have paved the way for other female-led ska bands such as the Dance Hall Crashers, One-Eighty (180), Metro Stylee, The Usuals, & various other talented female-led ska(/punk) bands. Hopefully the Checkered Cabs can keep up the great work and make it big..."

"Great debue CD. I love Ska and own around 150 Ska CD's, this one goes near the top of the list of my favorates. Great vocals, good orginal material, and wonderful covers. I couldn't beleive it when I was really getting off on "La Bamba." There is a strong lating/Cuban flavor to a lot of this and it really worked. I can't wait for more."

The Checkered Cabs define the ska scene!!!

"This album is excellent! I'm so impressed with the band's sound in the studio! On stage, The Checkered Cabs are great and now, they've proved to be great on albums, too! I definitely recommend this CD... Caz's vocals are beautiful and along with the up-beat horns, guitar, and percussion, it's obvious that this band is going to make it big!!!"
