World/ Inferno Friendship Society - This Packed Funeral

2014 album from the veteran Punk Rock cabaret ensemble. Equal parts Punk, Soul, Klezmer and Jazz, replete with horns, piano, guitar and a lot of boys and girls with very sharp teeth, the Brooklyn- based group's must-see stage charisma rivals Slim Cessna's Auto Club. The ensemble has over 40 members, including a guy from Dexys Midnight Runners who's in Black 47 now. Only about seven to thirteen show up at any given time due to parole restrictions, so one never can tell how crowded the dressing room is going to be. THIS PACKED FUNERAL features their signature critically acclaimed romantic-tangoing / violent break-up-inducing mayhem while combining contrapuntal fugue and the classic hardcore Punk sounds of Code of Honor, TSOL and the Damned.
