Recently, I’ve been revisiting a lot of the questionable music that I enjoyed as a teenager. I was in the eighth grade during the “Year of Ska”. Anybody remember that? There were 12 glorious months, during which THREE separate ska singles saw regular radio airtime. Reel Big Fish and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones became household names – or were at least referred to as “those bands with the trumpets.” Everyone remembers the song “Sell Out”, but “Everything Sucks” was the one that always resonated with me.

Dust off your Vans checkerboard slip-ons and practice your skanking. Those infectious upbeats and melodic horns will have you dancing your ass off! Late 90’s Ska/Punk isn’t only for awkward teenage nerds anymore. It’s for awkward, nerdy adults, too!

This is gonna be the last time you hear me complain.
