Push ‘N Shove, Hepcat’s fourth album, was recorded in L.A. in 2000, but much of the time, it sounds like it could have been recorded in Kingston in the 1960s. Most of the music on this rewarding, if derivative, CD isn’t fast enough to be called ska; rather, many of the songs recall rock steady, an early form of reggae.
