    i guess what you need to know about this is that it's "punk-ska"--more punk with horns than ska, really. when the guitar goes clean it's really quiet. the drums sound funny, too. the singer does this weird thing where he breaks up syllables or something. it gets a bit annoying. they're from japan, but sound very u.s. influenced, which is too bad. it would be nice if they had their own take on this style, like the u.k. bands do. regardless, they're okay if you like punky ska, but i don't generally like such things.
