Liptones ”The Latest News”
Jag kan inte låta bli att bli imponerad när The Liptones debutplatta snurrar i CD-spelaren. Dels för att Sverige förärats ytterligare ett skaband av klass och dels för att Falköpingspojkarna lyckats ro i hamn dena fullängdare utan att tappa tråden någon gång på vägen. The Liptones spelar partyska i högt tempo större delen av plattan, och ofta brukar sådana skivor bli lite enahanda efter ett tag. Men Shoot ém down, My way, Liptones och de andra rökarna framförs med samma livliga energi albumet igenom. En låt som Strange kind of justice är inte bara en andningspaus i öset utan fyller även den sin fuktion. Fortsätter A Massage To You att hålla denna klass på sina släpp kommer de släpp kommer de snart kunna räknas bland de riktigt stora i skabranchen. Betyg 4 av 5 (Streetmusic F.C. Nr 7)
Swedish label AMTY Records have new release out now from the Liptones. The Liptones are a 6 piece outfit from Falkoping in Sweden & their debut CD, titled Latest News, has loads of fast paced 3rd wave ska numbers in the mould of Skaos or The Busters. (Do The Dog Nr 27)

Artist: The Liptones
Album: ”The Latest News”
Label: AMTY Records
Genre: Ska
Reviewer: LegoLars
Review: Ok, ust for once in my life I decided to write a review of a SKA
band. (HOORAY!)
The band call themselves ”The Liptones” Why? You ask. I‘ll tell you why boy!
They are called the Liptones for they use instruments that you use with your
lips. (Not all of them idiot!) Got that? You didn1t? You want to ask
something? No! They have not got their name from some stupid tea brand! Now
Stop askin‘ and lemme write this goddamn review!
The Band is:
Mo Brodén: lead vocals, guitar.
Mårten: Bass guitar, backup vocals.
Kaka: Drums.
Henke: Organ, backup vocals
P-A: Saxophone
Snick: Trumpet, backup vocals
(These guys are the nicest on earth, I had a long conversation with the guys
and they even signed my record!)
The album ”The Latest News” contains 14 different ska tracks, like Jungle
Heat, My Way and Free Like a Bird. (They sound pretty much the same but I‘m
really in to ska music so I like ‘em very much!)
Originality: 5 They sound like most ska bands out there except they play
twice the speed of other bands. That‘s why the originality!
Lyrics: 8 The lyrics are really weird because they span over a wide area.The
album contains of party songs that are about drinkin‘ beer and hangin‘ with
chicks (like ”Jungle Heat” and ”Out with the Boys” mixed with pure punk-rock
lyrics like ”Strange kind of Justice”, ”Paranoid” and ”No way Out”. Good
lyrics with great English. (No grammatical errors there)
Sound Quality: 9 The sound is great! Good mixing, great mastering. Pure
quality sound there! Can‘t be compared to the live experience though.
Musicianship: 9 These boys can play their instruments very well! (P-A on the
saxophone is a GOD!) Really experienced musicians. Live the are so tight, so
you can‘t believe that its live!
Album Art: 7 The album art is VERY kiddish. It‘s a green cartoony crocodile
on the front and lots of different cartoony animals inside the booklet. They
are 6 animals, one for each band member. I think the cartoony style fits the
album but its not corresponding to the rest of the bands image. They are
always wearing black suites live and all their merchandise is black.
Live Experience: 10 This is the best live-band ever! Their concerts are an
orgy of tight music, drunk gals and guys, dancing and BEER! The best live
experience there is!
Overall: 8 This is a great album if you‘re in to ska music. Great songs,
good lyrics, catchy melodies. Recommended to SKA fans!

Detta Falköpingsband släpper i och med detta sin debutskiva och enligt dem själva spelar de tredjevågens party ska, och det kan jag hålla med om. Låter ganska likt Skalatones och det är ju inget dåligt betyg. Skivan innehåller 14 låtar i högt tempo och med sköna melodier och baktakter. Ingen musik att deppa till direkt och vem vill vara deppig?
Betyg 4 av 5 (Umezine nr 5)
Well done to the boys at AMTY records in Sweden on the release of this 14 track by Swedish skasters The Liptones. A superb track list of 3rd wave/2 Tone ska. Once you spin it, your addicted. Brilliant! (Ur Ska Patrol nr 11 & 12)
The Liptones – The latest news
Betyg: 3 porkpiehattar
”The latest news” is the first record from this young swedish ska band. The first song is called ”Jungle Heat” and it starts with some really weird jungle sounds, its a fast rocking ska song and just like the rest of the record it‘s got alot of horns and organ. The record then slows down to a more ”normal” tempo, which I prefer. The best songs are ”Girl for tonight”, ”My way” and ”Dressed in pink” even though there arent any real stad out songs, the first two can be found on their demo ”Sucks”, which I like alot. But if I you have a lill‘ money over and you dont know how to spend it, you might aswell buy this record cause it‘ll spice up your party for sure!
