THE TROJANS : Earth first

Reviewed by Dell (Backdoor Promotions England).

Earth First was the 10th album release by The Trojans in 1997, & while most bands would be scratching their heads in the studio to make up such a number, the band moved forward & created yet even more classic ska & rocksteady anthems.

Gaz Mayall bellows that he is a ' nutter ' on the eponymous great melodica skank of Earth First, while Fuck The Robots & Wicked Little Girl proves once again that the Notting Hill based ska star has a great ability to write tunes regarding any subject that he wishes to sing about.

This album is a must for all Trojans fans, both old & new, & one, which has you reaching for the replay switch on your stereo every time you play it.
