Kevin: These guys have the same PR firm as The Violet Burning, so we�re going to do them a favor and not read their press kit until after the review.
Kevin: they�re from LA and supposedly pre-date Goldfinger and No Doubt. I did sneak a peak at the press kit
Nicole: It�s too precious. The singers like the way they sound too much.
Kevin: It�s most definitely SKA, but I always think as ska music as happy music even when it�s sad. And so far, only the third track has been a good ska song.
Nicole: This isn�t fun, the words aren�t fun.
Kevin: I like this track, Delerium
Derek: It doesn�t seem groundbreaking at all yet. The lyrics seem mostly like filler.
Derek: I don�t really know how to comment on Ska. I like it when I see live bands, but I never go and buy any.
Kevin: I have some ska. This would not replace any Toasters albums in my collection, but this album is shaping into a decent ska disc. I would probably listen to it again.
Nicole: The only ska band I�ve heard live is the Crazy 8�s and compared to them, these guys have a much more subdued horn section. Their horns could be stronger.
Derek: Final comments?
Kevin: Fairly decent ska music, but not groundbreaking or a must have.
Derek: yeah.
