Download
Release Date: September 13, 2016
Genre: Reggae/Ska/Rocksteady
The Classy Wrecks are a ska/rocksteady/reggae based in Toronto, Ontario. The group celebrated the release of their debut EP Songs for the Extinct with a release party held at the Bovine Sex Club in Toronto on September 22, 2016. The album contains five tracks, including “Leave Me Alone” featuring Dreddy from Staylefish.
When hearing that the band combined reggae, ska, and rocksteady, I immediately became interested in the release. In particular, ska has become dominant in my music playlists. If executed well, it could easily be in my playlists. If not, it just becomes another piece I listened to for a review.
However, expectations were met among listening to the Songs for the Extinct EP. There is not one song that specifically stands out for me. The album has been played in it’s entirety repeatedly. The lyrics are fun and compliment the instruments. Ultimately, it is executed well and offers promise to what is coming next from the band. It is a good introduction to the band. I would recommend Songs for the Extinct by The Classy Wrecks to fans of ska and reggae.

Hi Everyone! My name is Remington Fioraso. I am a graduate of the University of the Fraser Valley’s Bachelor of Arts program in Sociology, Anthropology, and Media and Communication Studies. Within my program, I focused on social media, learning about contemporary and classical sociological theory (Including Marx, Foucault, Bourdieu, and Durkheim), and communicating effectively in various modes and for different audiences (including oral communication, business communication, academic writing, entertainment media, and presentations utilizing visual media). Within my program, the question arose for many courses, “What is the relevance in the real world?” Stepping (temporarily) away from being in university, I gained an interest in Latin American development, social movements, and business. Sooner than later, I will be applying for post-grad programs to dive further into LA development and social movements to gain a theory-background in addition to a personal perspective onto the topics. In my free time, I love to travel, consume media, eat, listen to music, and write. Listening to music and writing led to my interest in working with Canadian Beats! I have been a part of the team since April 2014. A few of my personal highlights of interviews include ones with some of my favourite artists – Sumo Cyco, Madeline Merlo, and High Valley.
