If you feel like the concept of mash-ups has died a final death, then let, 'Rocket To Kingston', do its utmost to sway your judgement. Taking the vocals of Bob Marley and interpolating them into Ramones instrumentals, what you wind up with is an immensely playful batch of unique re-imaginings, repurposing the anti-establishment protest sentiments of the reggae legend with an energetic punk backdrop. With jovially titled cuts such as, 'I Don't Wanna Stand Up', 'Stirring In My Room', and the absolute standout, 'Three Surfin' Little Birds', who says that you can't have your reggae cake and punk it too?! Even one read of the project's definitive blurb should indicate precisely what these tracks entail, yet they're far more fun than they have any right to be - "Imagine that in the late 70s, Bob Marley crossed paths with the Ramones at the CBGB counter and they decided to make a record together. Here is the result: 10 rasta classics with punk rock sauce 1-2-3-4!"
