Expect The Pietasters� sound of skankin� punk rhythms and raucous vocal rumblings slowed down and sticky thick with the sounds of early Motown and Jamaican soul. The result is subtly nostalgic and enticingly fresh, offering plenty for both longtime listeners and younger underground music fans who missed the ska scene on the first (or second and third) go �round. Indeed, there is something truly timeless about ska music; and who better to remind us of that than The Pietasters?
The band releases All Day in Japan on August 24, 2007 on Ska in the World/Disk Union. The album�s Japanese release will feature three bonus tracks, including a cover of Teenage Fanclub�s �The Concept.� Despite 2 previous album releases in Japan (Willis in 1997 and Awesome Mix Tape #6 in 1999, both on Hellcat/Epitaph), The Pietasters will make their tour debut in The Land of the Rising Sun this fall 2007. Also this fall, the band will tour throughout Europe in support of the album�s UK/European release. Look for the band�s video "Don't Wanna Know" to be available soon.
In the meantime, The Pietasters bring their high energy live show, and their new material, to venues coast to coast this summer.
