Why this Band is Unique: They experiment with adding a touch of hardcore to their usual pop-punk ska sound.

Recommended Song:
The Ballad of Jack McDermott
I like this band. They play a cool mix of ska & pop-punk, and it's not as typical as it sounds. They incorporate just enough ska to make the pop-punk element unique the same way that they play just enough pop-punk to make the ska element unique. And on top of that they add a touch of hardcore to have fun with.

All though their new CD doesn't hit my personal ska bone the way that their first CD "A 7 Letter Word For Kill" did back when I used to see them play shows in my hometown, I could tell they're having a great time experimenting with new sounds and playing a refined version of their roots. I hope they keep it up as long as they can. (Luke Romano)
