Product description

Whitmores, fronted by ex-Uncle Brian mainstays Robb on vocals and guitar, and bassist Glenn, debut "Smoke The Roach" contains the very popular live track "Alison" (one of P-rock tv Top Ten voted videos for over 4 months) which is included on this CD as a video enhanced track and "On The Ceiling" (the P-rock tv theme) which is also to be the bands next video, to heady Ska-Reggae tracks like "Listed" and "Drop The Bomb" in the mould of Sublime, right thru to pop Ska-Punk tracks and live favourites like "Tell You Twice" and "29 Times". The bands often brash, dark and angry lyrics give Whitmore a whole different twist...more than highlighted on the haunting last track "Closing Doors". Over 200 gigs in 12 months seeing the band support Spunge, King Prawn, The Toasters and Reel Big Fish on major UK tours and co-headlining the 39 date "Golfing On The Moon" UK Tour with Golf Records 4Ft Fingers has established WHITMORE as one of the country's hardest working bands and the rising stars of the UK Ska-Punk scene.

more sincere punk than some contemporaries lots of fun

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 November 2014

loads of good fun this album is a bit like the spunge albums but in a way it is better the whole attitude and performance is more passionate and better the music is fun to listen to there is lots of rocking moments and lots of bass heavy ska moments all sung with a strong british accent too. the songs are more memorable and the bass playing is brilliant too. The band is less known than some others like them which is a shame they should have been a bigger it seems however british ska punk bands were doomed never to really make great commercial success something about their overall timbre didn't quite appeal to enough people I guess they do tend to have a more gritty feel to it. Still this is brilliant and well worth the money

Awesome CD. Proper ska punk...reggae undertones on some and dirty mosh pit inducing punk on others! And if you get chance go see them live!!

Great fun

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 February 2019

Ok so I bought this album years ago and just realised I had never left a review, which this album thorough deserves as it's brilliant. Even after all this time it still goes down as one of my all time favourites. This is a proper ska punk album, 3 minute tunes that will have you jigging all over the place. Great riffs, lovely bass, great drumming, these three were amazing and a shame they are no more. If you need a catchy, loud, ska punk album, this is the best by a long way. Every track is a winner, love it.

Tell you once I love you, tell you twice to.... la la la la

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 January 2003

The pop-punk/ska hybrid that is Whitmore probably released Moon Ska Europe's best CD to date.. okay well maybe except for Boxing Clever but still... every track is darkly infectious, not the happy 4 chord punk-pop that you're used to but still outdoes the majority of it's competitors, Whitmore have their own unique take on the genre. The variety doesn't stretch very far but it's not a flaw, I prefer albums that keep to the same style throughout with the odd few tracks standing out as different, like say 'Listed'. I love Robb's voice... he doesn't try to sound American and that's a big flaw in the UK ska and punkpop scenes. He has a raw emotion that's hard to put my finger on but I love it. Another thing I like are the small touches, like the cuts and scratches on 'Nine Bar Blues'.. just small things, but they're great. The last song is probably my favourite, but honestly they're all good and will have your toes'a'tappin' and your head'a'boppin'. I don't know why they included news audio from the September 11th WTC attacks, I don't know if it has nay refference to the song, if you know please email me! They were also kinda enough to include, like with most Moon Ska CD's these days a few bonus tracks, a different version of 'Listed' and an acoustic (and live?) version of 'I Am Strong'. I'm glad they broke away from Uncle Brian, although I love them (plus they're from Laverstock(!)), if 2/3 of Whitmore they hadn't have been fed up with Dan and the rest of Uncle B then they would have never released the masterclass that is 'Smoke The Roach'. Jay is such a good drummer, by the way. Go pick it up at your local (good) record store and smoke the roach (not literally, drugs are bad kids!).

Pure British ska-punk

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 November 2002

I've seen Whitmore twice, and they quite simply ooze talent and catchy ska riffs which will have u dying for 'a little jigg' as frontman robb once said the last time i saw them in leeds on the golfing on the moon tour.
To start with theres a re-vamped version of 'Alison', and this version has so few expletives it can actually get radio play, unlike the version on '260', their first ep on moon ska, its a classic catchy melodic pop-punk song about a girl.
The album continues with a few new skanky-punky songs and then you can really hear why this is called a ska band with the strangely titled '* (star thing)' which was also a b-side along with '1000 bongs', but does not make an appearance on this although it is still being used as a filler at some shows, from the second ep, nine bar blues. this is followed by another song which was a live track on nine bar blues, and definately brings blink 182 or mest to mind.
Soon pops along the excellent live favourite 'tell you twice' which is most skanktastic and will have you charging to the front of the crowd, which most likely is singing along happily.
Nine bar blues then comes along but because i cant seem to find the album at the moment im not sure if its a new version, but its still a cracking song... about strange substances and a truck from what i remember.
the album continues being a mixture of ska-punk-rock (change to skapunknerdrock if you're a bus drivers fan, although theres no horn with whitmore) which as everyone else says does bring to mind sublime, less than jake, sugarcult, mest, goldfinger etc... if you like and of those bands or anything that can be slotted into ska or punk you will be overjoyed with this buy!
Added into this Whitmore are all really nice guys to talk to and know and even joined in the pit at when 4ft fingers played.
Buy it before the world ends!

whitmore - smoke the roach

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 February 2003

WHITMORE - SMOKE THE ROACH
This is the debut album for the Wiltshire ska/punk trio, after seeing them numerous times before I was used to the expletive and explosive shows of Robb, Glenn (both ex-Uncle Brian) and Jay. For this album I think the band has approached the album with some though, in some of the songs they have uncharacteristically laid off a bit, there not as raw and rough as there live shows, sound a lot cleaner (Robb has a lot tamer voice in this full length) and have creatively added other instruments which the would never play in a show, e.g. organs and police siren in * (star thing) and synthesiser noises in 'drop the bomb' plus having percussion instruments in many of the songs.
Stand out songs in this album are bouncy ska/punk tracks * (star thing) and tell you twice, and the awesome dub 'drop the bomb' and 'I am strong ', plus 'on the ceiling' was used for an interlude on a punk-rock T.V. station. There properly playing a venue near you now so go see them live.
good album - check it out.
