Mr. Review was a Dutch ska revival band formed by Roel Ording and Arne Visser in 1983 in Amsterdam. They were active from 1983 to 1999, when the band dissolved.
Drummer Roel Ording and guitarist Arne Visser had been in a band before, when they met singer Dr. Rude. They soon found a keyboardist and a saxophone player. Arne Visser was always the main songwriter. Concerts in local pubs were followed by a contract at Unicorn Records in London, which released the album Walking Down Brentford Road was released. Brentford Road is the address of Jamaica's Studio One, where many ska and reggae legends recorded songs. The band travelled to perform at many festivals in Europe. In 1994, they recorded their second album, Lock, Stock and Barrel. In 1995, their live album Keep The Fire Burning followed. After the band stopped playing together, Arne Visser and Dr. Rude continued in a new band called Rude & Visser.[2]
