A long time friend of Buck and the Toasters (he also performs on the Live In Brasil release) this release will mark the beginning of things to come for Megalith and the ska scene overall. Victor Rice has a long history of work in the ska scene and outside the genre. He has played in band such as the Scofflaws, Mephiskapheles, New York Ska-Jazz Ensemble and the Toasters, just to name a few. He is also a producer and mixer of many ska bands including works with the one and only Dr. Ring Ding out of Germany as well as a handful of bands from Brasil!.If you haven't been turned on to the deep down ska dub sounds of VR, you really are missing a whole world of grade A music. Everything Victor puts his hands on is golden, this album is no exception. Not to mention this album features many of today's top notch ska musicians like Brian (Buford) O'Sullivan, Paul Gebhardt, David Hahn and Eddie Ocampo, to name a few.If you want something to do on a Sunday afternoon, turn this record on and soak in the low decibel that is Victor Rice...
