And I certainly know what a third wave ska-punk record looks like. This looks exactly like a third wave ska-punk record. I pretty much already knew what it would sound like before I played it. Young guys making puerile jokes with songs about school and girls, and their messed up job/car situation; distorted guitars; snotty/bratty vocals singing "pickituppickituppickitup!" with noticeable ripoff riffs and choruses from well known bands at the time.
Look at that cover. Look at the record (white vinyl- they're up to something).
Now, you're getting the same vibe that I was getting, right. Third wave ska-punk?
But I was wrong. We are wrong.
I was expecting something more like Bingo Mut but they sound more like Hepcat. It threw me for a loop.
Two instrumental tracks that I never would have expected from the images I was seeing.
Never judge a book by its movie and never judge a ska band by its record cover.
Actually, no, it's okay to judge a ska record by its cover; they are pretty accurate. Just not this one.
A - Money in the Pocket
B - Captain Jones
