Probably The Next Big Thing» is the name of the new record by Kalles Caviar. The title song is about a boxer who is traded as the next big sensation. In the big fight he goes in the first round K.O. The next big thing of the longest-serving Swiss ska-haudegen Kalles Caviar is quite different. The Baselers are releasing album number seven with "Probably the Next Big Thing" after almost a quarter of a century of existence. Twelve new songs - all original compositions - are on your ears. Reinhauen is worth it. Kalles Caviar has heard time and again since its foundation in 1996 that Ska is becoming "the next big thing". That's why they christened their new LP. Winking and serene.
The 7 always stylishly dressed men from Milan have been delighting fans of traditional Jamaican sounds for several years. With “Coconuts From Space” they continue to advance in their development and bring out their album, which has matured so far. Somewhere between traditional ska, rock steady, Jamaican boogie and groovy R’n’B. Sometimes a little quieter and then with dance floor fillers, like the grandiose “Sing-A-Ling”. Supported by Gigi “Mr. T-Bone ”di Gaspari and Jesse Wagner as well as a great artwork in the style of the 60s (excerpt from review irieites.de)

The first new album by the Sublime follow-up band after almost two decades contains a heavy load of feel good vibrations under the sign of offbeat.

The retro organ and the brass sections glow, the guitar also sparkles fine, while the offbeat runs towards the sunset on this fine, very well balanced album. * Regime Music Group
