Accordion to James — Oompah for the Masses is the debut satirical polka album from CJSP Records, blending rowdy accordion riffs, stomping brass, and fearless social commentary. Across twelve tracks (plus a hidden encore), the band takes polka out of the beer hall and into the cultural arena, proving that satire, chaos, and music still belong together.

The record skewers politics, pharma, big business, and cultural absurdities with biting humor and danceable energy. Songs like “Keep It in the Middle,” “Clown Car Congress,” and “Side Effects May Include” spin real-world frustrations into carnival anthems, while tracks like “The Accordion Will Not Be Televised” and “Keep Dancing While Rome Burns” push into apocalyptic satire. It’s music that makes you laugh, wince, and move all at once.

At its core, Oompah for the Masses is about giving polka back its teeth. Long dismissed as novelty, here the accordion becomes a weapon of joy and rebellion. The album carries echoes of protest songs, circus marches, punk attitude, and Oktoberfest chaos — but with a modern satirical twist that makes it stand out in 2025’s soundscape.

Released on CJSP Records, the project embodies the label’s mission: to create independent, fearless art outside the grip of entertainment conglomerates. It’s a parody album, a political satire album, and a polka-punk experiment all in one.

Whether you’re here for the laughs, the riffs, or the sheer audacity, Accordion to James — Oompah for the Masses is unforgettable. Play it loud, spill your drink, and remember: the revolution will not be televised… but it might just be oompah’d.
