Angry Agency have released their second album titled "Calling Out To A World Divided." This album is a continuing extension of their debut that saw the band pull out those trombones and whip the ska onto unsuspecting listeners. This is a band that people who like Mustard Plug or Planet Smashers will like, so get on them if you do like those bands. These guys have done a pretty good job on this album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded alright, but the album as a whole could be a  bit clearer and have the sound bumped up a bit. With the instrumentation, they have some pretty decent guitar work at times here. Now onto the lyrics and vocals, the lyrics are alright, they could be better but they seem to be a little basic with the political side of the lyrics, but the vocals work pretty well with the sound that these guys are going for. If you are looking for a single to this album, there isn't one, so just pick any song and give it a listen to get the idea of the album. We personally like "If You Think Politics Are Boring.." Angry Agency have done an alright job on this album. it does continue on the sound that the band has been going with and it expands their library of songs for them. We do however hope that the band can progress a but more and use their skills to really show them. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)

Angry Agency are a band that likes their music fast. With their blend of Ska and Political Punk lyrics, this band really has something to say. If you like either of those things, you probably will like this band. They are pretty good. When you look at the recording of their album, the quality of the songs is not the greatest, so they could really work on that, as well as the music itself is pretty good, but Ska bands never go over the top so its different. With this band the lyrics are the most important part, and they certainly are good and work well. If you are looking for a single to listen to here, there isn't one, so just listen to any song you want and see how the album sounds. Angry Agency have something that could really work in the niche market of ska music, so just fix up that album quality and maybe tone the craziness down just a notch then you may have something that works. Good job to this band with their second album, give it a listen and see what the band is doing. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)

Angry Agency have released their debut album titled "This Is What Democracy Looks Like". This album shows the band as a pretty political ska sounding band. These guys have a pretty similar sound to that of The Planet Smashers and Less Than Jake, so if you like those bands and fast punk, you could really like this album. They have done an alright job here.

When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded to just an okay standard. The album sounds pretty rough. It sounds like it needs to be louder and more crisp as a whole. These songs are listenable, but they feel like more production is needed. With the instrumentation, you can hear some pretty good guitar at times, and you can tell the band can play. We don't know too much about brass instruments, but it sounds like they play just like every other ska band. For the most part, it is just good average playing. Not too bad.

Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals on this album are not bad. The singers doesn't sound like they are any sort of singing prodigy, but they sing. These guys are pretty clear for the style, and you can get what they are trying to say. They do sing pretty fast, which makes you need to listen close, but you can get it. With the lyrics, the band sings songs about politics and world issues which could turn off some potential listeners, but this genre is known for these topics at times. We feel the lyrics have an audience and will be found. 

If you are looking for a single to this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song and give it a listen to get the idea of the band and album.

Angry Agency have made a debut album full of your typical ska sounding songs. This gives the band something to start off with and start to generate fan, as well as material for shows. We are not really a fan of this type of music, but we can see how this could be something with a big more of a polished recording. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)
