Hippos of Doom - Road Trip EP

Hippos of Doom is a great band name! Its super ridiculous but it's without a doubt the type of band name that makes me want to check out a band.

The band's new ep, Road Trip,is a fantastic punk/ska album that reminds of bands like Tasty Snax and Value Pac. (Not quite ska enough to remind me of Squad Five-O). Old School Rocking Crew has a fantastic groove with the upbeats on the verse to get you skanking before the gang vocals hit you on the chorus. Wool Brigade and Holiday Road are great punk songs.

Road Trip is a great ep. It's fun punk rock with a twinge of ska. Fans of mid-90's punk rock looking for a reminder of what Warped Tour used to be should check out Hippos of Doom.
