The North of England's numero uno ska fan Simon Flaherty has just posted the following excellent review of the Cartoon Violence CD on his Myspace page at http://www.myspace.com/siflahertyskabastard

CARTOON VIOLENCE - WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE LIKELY LAD?
A year or two back I went to see The Toasters play a sweaty little club in Manchester, Satan's Hollow, support that night came from amongst others Three Minute Warning.
If you know your ska you will be well aware of just how good 3MW are, the second they kicked in that night even Rob "Bucket" Hingley was impressed, high praise to see the great man skanking along to our new ska heroes, they were absolutely fantastic and its no surprise to me that 3MW secured a release on Bucket's Megalith label soon after.
One of the striking factors of a 3MW performance is the mesmerising keyboards of Chuzz who is a bundle of passion and irresistable energy, he brings the pumping ska of this quartet to life.
When I heard Chuzz had launched a side project, Cartoon Violence, I was immediately eager to hear the results. Well since last Thursday when my latest order from Kev's Do The Dog label landed, this cd has been in constant rotation, when I tell you I also ordered The Aggrolites and I haven't played it yet I think you get the message! Its absolutely bloody unbelievably fantastic. Its probably been produced on a shoestring but the songs are so strong I can't begin to tell you how talented this guy is.
I don't want to compare but I'm going to -  they remind me a bit of The Hotknives on their album The Way Things Are, strong melodies, story telling lyrics and ska of light and shade and different moods. The ska attack of 3MW is in there as too are the keyboards under pinning everything but there is a more considered approach to how each song is tackled and the result is, well, effective to say the least!
There are nine tracks and they are all class but Attic, Do Something About It and Johnny Come Lately are absolutely stunning. So ORDER IT, you'll not be disappointed, its a release that you will play again and again.
