This is a six track Demo CD from the Ska / Punk band that is Thatchers Children. Here we have a 20 minute rough demo from the band showing off some of their tunes. The music which they produce is Ska / Punk with a horn section, I guess you could call them Ska Punk if you wanted but they are far more than that and quite frankly the genre of Ska Punk would not do them justice. My favourite track here is probably ‘Our Soles’ because with this tune the band show great ability and great style. It is an awesome example of the sort of music which they produce with an awesome horn section leading you into the strong vocals. This one has a really relaxed feel about it and the laid back Ska feel, in my humble opinion is amazing! This track is my favourite because of its slow, laid back drumming, amazing vocals, the guitar playing is fast and furious, and the horn section gives it that loveable Ska feel which is always cool to have. ‘Burning Bridges’ is also an awesome, laid back Ska track. The vocals on this one are done really well, coming through really clearly – making way for a really cool track. There is also a Ska’d up version of ‘Everlasting Love’ here on this CD that has been added for good measure and it is a really interesting tune. It is a strange choice for a cover song but Thatchers Children make a really good go of it and really make it into their own. As far as cover songs go, this one is amazing and a poppy song has been turned into a Ska tune which is well worth a listen. This is a good little demo from the band here and the only some which isn’t very good is ‘Would Be At My Funeral’ and this is purely because it has not come out at all well after recording so this is quite a shame because the other tracks came out so well and purely because of recording problems this little track has been ruined. So, if you are into Ska or Punk for that matter then check out this band and I promise you won’t be disappointed.
