AllMusic[4]

The Chinkees Are Coming (also known as ...Are Coming) is the first studio album by the all-Asian ska punk band the Chinkees.[5] Released in 1998 on Asian Man Records, it was the first of three studio albums by the band. Some of the album's proceeds went to anti-racist organizations.[6]

Critical reception

[edit]

AllMusic wrote that "the message of harmony makes The Chinkees Are Coming! a pleasing listen for 2-Tone fans who miss ska's more political aspects in the late-'90s third wave revival."[4]
