A Boston band that mixed ska, punk, and Celtic touches into loud, loose shows since the mid-90s.
For a quick sense of their vibe, She Knows Her Way and Ruin You frame it well, loud, a little messy, and ready to go.
They started in Boston around 1995, and their sound, ska and punk with some Celtic touches, felt like a party you could actually join. Songs like She Knows Her Way and Ruin You kept things moving even when money was tight or members changed. Their shows were known for being loud and loose, with costumes and guest players sometimes jumping in.
They put out their first album, Good Luck, in 1997, and followed it with records like The Kids Table and Strictly Rude. In 1999, some listeners thought their song Broadway sounded too much like a track by Streetlight Manifesto, though nothing was ever settled about it. They kept touring and recording, including Stomp and Sing in 2006, with eight studio albums in total.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
