Album Review: Cheap Fakes - Modern Vintage

Cheap Fakes' Modern Vintage incorporates a mix of funk, ska, rock, with a hint of reggae, and they do it well.

Beginning with the short but sweet instrumental Is Golden, giving the listener an exciting taste of what follows. Strong horn sections found in Just In Case shows off the ska influence prominent in the band. The guitars in Citylights integrate the funk elements flawlessly, while a heavier, rock build-up to powerful horn solos really shows Cheap Fakes have mastered their elements. The suave vocals gives this album the perfect balance of energy for any situation.
