La Ruda Salska - On The Radio Ska

Review by Thomas Erdtsieck

On The Radio Ska is the fourth album by the French ska punk band La Ruda Salska. Released in 2001, the album features a mix of high-energy ska and punk rock with socially conscious lyrics. The album opens with the title track, "On The Radio Ska," a catchy tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The band's signature horns are prominent throughout the album, adding a distinct flavor to each track.

The album's standout track is "Le Prix Du Silence," which features guest vocals from the French hip-hop artist Casey. The song explores the theme of social injustice and the need to speak out against oppression. Other notable tracks include "Le Pire Et Le Meilleur," a fast-paced ska punk anthem, and "Les Mots," a slower, more introspective track that showcases the band's versatility.
