English ska veteran Mark Foggo tks his trusty Skasters: on the road again to promote the Ska Pig Returns! album: "His music is still firmly grounded in the production values of the heyday of the genre when bands like Madness, The Beat and The Specials reigned the charts in the UK and beyond. Ska Pig Returns! is a joyous, upbeat album, with blaring trumpets setting a party mood that belies the underlying seriousness of the lyrics, with Rats and Mice about being still being alive as the stand-out track. Mark Foggo is a survivor, still assuring his fans that “This is just the beginning", 40 years after he released the classic debut single New Shoes".
