I likes it!

Might be worth editing your post so it's a clickable link to your myspace page, I had to copy and paste it into my browser's address bar.

Well, I just got home from Green Day, and my ears are shot to hell, but...

I dig it. You guys are solid.

Where's that crazy I-III-V 16th note walking bass line I usually hear on ska records? You're huggin' that root pretty tightly...

P.S. Can I get Audra's phone number?

I know this is blasphemy on TB but I'm acutally not the bassist for this group. Hahaha, I'm the lead vocalist.

Oh, how I love ska. This is good ska.

I'd need to get used to the vocals (they're not bad, just different from the RBF/FIF/Bosstones/Streetlight that I've been sticking with lately), but I would pay money for an album of this stuff.

I like it - sort of quirky, but very musical.

You may like to listen my friend's ska band to see what you think.

Thanks guys- feedback is much appreciated. I'm trying to convince our trombone player/business guy to start sending press kits to little labels once we get the full album back.

Nice arrangement! Tight horn section. Overall good sound. The bass was holding onto the root a lot, but I'd caution against overplaying it since there's already a lot going on with the horns and vocals. It could get too cluttered very quickly.

Nice job!
