I'm not really sure what the fuss is about, these clips just sound like more Somewhere in the Between. Does Tomas ever plan on doing something new with the band's sound? If the album is going to be more of this, I'll be giving it a pass.

This is amusing, since any time a band tries something new with their sound, everyone freaks out and calls them terrible and asks why they don't do more of the same thing they always did (like RBF, Big D, LTJ).

Well the RX Bandits never really had a consistent album-to-album "sound" in the way that every Reel Big Fish album sounds kind of similar or every earlier Big D album sounds kind of similar. I just feel like they went further and further off the deep end and went from sounding like early Bosstones to sounding like Guster.

They evolved over time but the results were mixed. I liked Progress and ... And The Battle Begun, but I thought the first one was awful -- I don't even remember the name -- and I thought The Resignation was very hit-or-miss. I barely remember Mandala and if they've done anything since I don't know about it.

Going along with this, I always get mad when Strictly Rude gets trashed, because aside from Deadpan and Snakebite, which I'm not entirely sure aren't the same song, that album was pretty drat good. Not Gipsy Hill, but it sure as gently caress wasn't Doped Up Dollies or whatever that steaming pile of poo poo was called. e: Fluent In Stroll, those 5 minutes I forgot the title were some of the best in my life.

Mandala was kind of boring and I don't think it's a coincidence that there were no horns at all on it. They broke up soon after, I think they're all doing different things and I don't think any of them were ska-related. Thing is, even though Progress/Resignation/Battle Begun were increasingly less and less ska-oriented, the horns were still very much a part of the music, leading to some awesome horn lines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kyd0D03YaQY&t=21s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvrOHjfxLvI I loved the Bandits not just because they were an awesome band, but because they kind of pushed the boundaries of ska in a pretty unique way, and it bums me out not that they were constantly evolving their sound, but that they seemed to really try to distance themselves from the whole ska thing in general.

I love that both S&S and Bamboozle (which was the original S&S) now exist simultaneously. Wikipedia says they did a Brazil tour last year and that the breakup was more of a hiatus, but who knows?

The first RxB album (released as The Pharmaceutical Bandits) was Those drat Bandits... They recorded it while they were still in high school, and it's much more California Third Wave than their subsequent albums. You're right about them distancing themselves from that sound, though. I think it was Warped Tour 2002 or something when a fan kept yelling, "Teen Idol! For the love of God, play Teen Idol!" Matt stopped and said, "Listen. Playing that song would be like loving an ex--that I don't even like." It's a fun album, and quotes from the bonus track still pop into my head once-in-a-while, but I can see why a musician would want to move on.

I got my non-ska-friend to finally get it! All it took was one listen of Don't Stop Skanking off the new(ish) Reel Big Fish album. I threw BTMI and Streetlight and the Taxpayers and Toasters at him and all it took was Reel Big Fish. It's a Skamas miracle. Edit: RBF should just throw dancehall parties, the new Streetlight makes me nervous but I actually quite liked Somewhere in the Between, and I would post daily in a celt rock thread. Gonna see Flogging Molly on March 8th. I haven't seen them since high school which was pre-Float, so I dunno if they're gonna be great or disappointing or what. DOUBLE EDIT: Holy crap I can actually make it to that BTMI show next week in LA. Now to find someone who also has a magnificent BTMI-boner.

Rx Bandits is one my favorite bands. Personally, I think every album they put out was better than the previous one. As much as I liked them when they played ska music, the progressive rock or whatever genre it is they turned into is so good. I remember reading they called it GrooveTech or something like that. That style really showcased how good of musicians they were. Especially C-Gak. That man is a beast on the drums. Also, best Rx Bandits side project is The Sound of Animals Fighting. Would love to see something new from them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgXx558cZhU

I actually really like Those drat Bandits a lot for something unpolished. It's not quite Kearbey Nights level but I like what they have to offer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZHM2c2FUDM owns. Although I used to hear this song on WFNX (RIP. 101.7 in Boston) a bunch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SG1S298Ytd4 FNX owned. They used to regularly play non-Impression that I Get Bosstones tracks.

The Lions new album This Generation came out today. About halfway through it right now and it's awesome. Great ska/reggae album. It's the band I mentioned a few days ago with Deston Berry and Alex Désert of Hepcat on vocals. It's available on Spotify right now. Not sure if it's streaming anywhere else though. Spotify: http://open.spotify.com/album/0e0m99zxFDnUwneG6uBGyF This Generation Guess I'll share another band I just found out about that you guys might like. A female fronted ska punk band called Upbeat Allstars. They have a really great sound and their singer is pretty awesome. Check out their album Wake Up.
