Vinyl LP pressing. Over the past 20 years, the Mad Caddies have made music that slipped between genre lines, and with Punk Rocksteady, they offer up a record of punk covers that shows the band is more than capable of taking all that piss and vinegar and turning it into something beautiful. Recorded at San Francisco's Motor Studios with Fat Mike serving as producer, as well as it's spiritual guide, the Mad Caddies got to bring one of Mike's pet projects to life. In order to make Punk Rocksteady diverse, the band labored over picking songs that could be interpreted in ways that would feel new and exciting, but still retain the spirit of the originals. From pulling vintage soul music sounds out of The Misfits "Some Kind Of Hate," or giving the Descendents deep cut "Jean Is Dead" a reggae strut, some of punk's genre-defining bands are remade at the hands of the Mad Caddies. "If the song's good, it can be played in any genre and do the song justice," says Robertson, and it's true listening to Punk Rocksteady, as the band's approach shows the limitless potential of the source material, turning Against Me!'s "Sink, Florida, Sink" into a horn-laced joyride and giving the staunch ska-haters Propagandhi a send-up that even they couldn't deny.
