The Barrymores

 Female-fronted third wave ska from Canada. 

As time went on they got better. The vocals went from fun amateur to professional pop vocals. The songwriting started out strong and got even better over time and the band played tighter. Unfortunately as they got better as a band they drifted away from ska. That last album has horns in a few songs but there is only one ska/reggae song and the rest is pop-punk.

I like pop-punk and I think it's a great album but I am disappointed that they moved away from ska when they were at their finest.
