Royal Winnipeg Porn Orchestra vs. JFK and the Conspirators

Clash of the Titans

BY Dan CohenPublished Feb 1, 2003

Clash of the Titans starts off with a powerful rock riff and then quickly settles down into blandness. With both the RWPO and JFK contributing four songs, this split CD captures what both bands have to offer. The RWPO put forward four new country rock songs, only one with a ska influence, while JFK contributes four live tracks recorded at the Montreal Jazz Festival, including a cover of the Kingpins' "The Ten Commandments of Ska." I suppose the CD is worth owning if you're a fan of the bands here, but nothing here really blew me away and the JFK's tracks don't get any better when played live.
