The Hoovers - Skin and Blisters
1980 Housekeeping
The Hoovers
Skin and Blisters
Genre: Ska
2.25 out of 5
Requisite 80s cover: A lackluster “I Got You, Babe”. I know there are other covers of this but, without the duetting…it’s a fail, boys.
So, here’s an American Ska band led by Brits that I’ve never heard of. They played a lot of shows in San Francisco with, of all bands, Romeo Void.
It’s a lot of backbeat but no horns and word was they might have been signed by Jerry Dammers but he decided not to.
And the band folded after one more EP.
No one’s loss. This is mediocre Ska. Barely that, even.
