Firehouse Rock would go down in history as the Wailing Souls' masterpiece, Inchpinchers was its follow-up, and of equally high calibre. Both sets were produced by Junjo Lawes and backed by the Roots Radics, a brilliant amalgamation of roots sensibilities and sound system rhythms. Compared to say The Revolutionaries, the Radics boasted a much sparser roots styling, with wide open spaces for singers (or DJs) to fill. This proved the perfect backdrop for the Souls to strut their exquisite harmonies, and across both sets the quartet shine. Much of the album boasts strong cultural numbers, such as the devotional "Don't Get Lost," the stark roots of the heartfelt "Modern Slavery" with its nods to Black Uhuru, the more upbeat sufferers standing tall of "Ghetto of Kingston Town," the simmering roots reggae of "Mass Charley Ground," and the infectious tribute to the good man "Tom Sprang"."
