Melbourne Ska Orchestra - The Ballad Of Monte Loco (Album) 2025
The Ballad of Monte Loco is the new concept album from Melbourne Ska Orchestra, set for release on June 27, 2025. Blending ska, dub, reggae, and the cinematic flair of a spaghetti western, the band creates a fictional world where rhythm is a form of resistance and music brings people together. The album features 13 tracks with rich arrangements, whip cracks, bells, and a sweeping, cinematic mood.
The lead single “Bom Bom Bom” is a rhythmic call-to-arms, while “Walls of Jericho” delivers a bold anti-war statement. Vocalist and producer Nicky Bomba leads the orchestra through an emotional and sonic epic. A world tour in support of the album will launch this fall.
For fans of ska, concept albums, and musical storytelling with cinematic flair.
