Try and find any (ska) band that doesn't use the chords from Pachlebels Canon in at least one song. Once you know it, you see it everywhere. See also: Fedex arrow, blue and orange contrast

People on Limewire also need to learn that RBF =/= Phish. I got a cover of Mmmbop that Phish did, because I was excited that RBF would do a cover of that song.

So I don't really like their first album, Word Is Bond, but I'm enjoying the Johnstones' new(ish) album, Can't Be Trusted. A few sample tracks: Down On Me Bank Song Can't Be Trusted You almost have to be impressed by a band that's managed to earn itself a lifetime ban from Disney World. Anything else good out lately? I'm jonesin' for new ska.

I haven't listened to it myself but Royal City Riot has a new album out called Coast to Coast. My guitarist says it's awesome and they were great live when we played with them last week so just based on that I'll recommend it.

Dickeye posted:How do you pull that off? quote:Hardy admits that trouble follows The Johnstones; for example, they recently garnered a lifetime ban from Disney Land in California. "Whether or not we instigate it, trouble just seems to follow us. We were touring in California and decided to stop at Disney World (sic) and things got a little out of hand. We were drinking a little bit and Rene [Gillezeau] pushed over things like a Mickey Mouse table and some garbage bins. There were soThe_Johnstonesme security guards chasing us and then somehow we got separated. Julian [Warme] and me were together and we thought we were okay, but then these security lights were beaming on us. They (the security) were bugging us later, saying you guys are from Canada, so you should be used to the cold. They also tried to turn us against each other by talking to us individually, but we held strong as a group. They took our Polaroids and said we were never allowed to come back. Disney World (sic) sucks anyways because it doesn't have many rollercoasters."

A few sample tracks: New ska generally doesn't come out during the winter, does it? It's generally associated with spring and summer. Back when I had eMusic this is usually the time when I'd scroll through their back catalog. Mad Caddies just went into the studio last week to record their next album.

Summer seems to be when everyone tours, so albums usually come out around then. Smaller bands tend to stay at home in the winter, because they can't risk a weather related auto accident.

I was hoping they do tour dates along the way, rather than fly from date to date. You know, for all the young fans who never had or chance to see them or can't fly to England.

Their dates had better be more than "East Coast, West Coast, Cheers." It'd be a big disservice to their fans to finally have the reunion tour, and then play very few dates.

As far as I know, the dates in April are part of a small little stint in the US. The band plans on doing a full-blown US tour later in the year.

Why couldn't that New York show be on a Sunday? In other reunion news, Spring Heeled Jack is going to do a reunion show: http://www.punknews.org/article/36857 Oddly enough, I asked myself what songs from broken up bands I'd most like to hear live, and "Jolene" is what first came to mind.

JR described their previous reunion show as "bittersweet" given the circumstances, but it is pretty cool that they're giving it another go.

Although this is floating around: quote:New Jersey's STREETLIGHT MANIFESTO will release their much anticipated album 99 Songs of Revolution on March 16, 2010 via Victory Records. The album will feature covers, see the tracklist below.

Someone at skachilles emails someone at Victory periodically about the release date. Originally it was sometime in February but March 16 is the most recent date we've gotten for it. So it's got a 50/50 shot of actually being the release day
