Title: essentually not swing
Review: The quality of the music on this and their other CD is very poor. It is highly repetetive and the lyrics do not fit the music. Swing is jazz (not some kind of alternative music like many think). And this can hardly be classified as jazz. As for swing-they have very little sense of it. The horns are out of tune and not blended. They are barely what I would call a CHRISTIAN band. They have few songs to prove themselves as that. If you are looking for good swing, go with Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Royal Crown Review, or classis like Basey. If you want Christian Swing-there are other Christian Swing bands who have much more sense of music. Some of the music is OK, but it is hardly something I will invest my money in. Look somewhere else this time. They seem to want to swing punk and ska more than play TRUE swing. Swing sounds good when it is SWING. Mixing it with other forms tends to delute the music.
