THE GO SIGNALS!!!

I've been waiting for years for this. I am a big fan since the start. The Go Signals is one of the best in Manila. Labeling them as a Mod band is too constricting. Yes, the influences are there - Rickenbacker guitars, the roundel, the stance. They are more than that and you better see them play live. It's all set, the signal is up. Let's ROLL!

Suited and Booted!!!!

This compilation is a good introduction to the musical preferences of the Mod culture from ska, rocksteady, reggae, 60's soul, 2Tone and a few Mod revival bands. I cant say that this is "the essential " compilation for the people whose new in the scene since most of the songs are readily available and and easy to find. But again, if you want someone to get hooked or introduce these great songs to friends, then this is one of 'em compilations. You Know the drill. Enjoy! play this loud and dance!
