Yet more late 90s ska-punk from the Asian Man Records box I
bought 12 years ago. This one is strange, because not only does the band sound
quite a bit like early No Doubt, they look the part too! It’s eerie. I’m
thinking maybe ska horns are the cheesy sax solo of the 90s, given how
perfectly they date this music. Seconds after dropping the needle I was taken
back to those halcyon days where I was 12 years old. Mighty Mighty Bosstones
were all the rage and the Baseketball
(featuring a couple rightous jams from Reel Big Fish) was constantly being
blasted from my portable boom box (running on the power of 6 D batteries). It
was a good time, but this music only serves my nostalgia. These songs are fun and the lyrics have some charm, but that’s about their only positive function.
"Lisa Marie"
