This is one of the coolest pre-orders I've ever done but part of me doesn't believe the album will ever come out :(

Between the fact that it's only available from the band right now and that they've said that if Victory fucks them they'll release it anyway, I'm confident that they will have a new album out by 2017.

Ugh there's a vinyl version of the album coming out also. I guess I might get that with the Toh Kay version.

Dammit.

I don't want to admit how badly I want both of those records on vinyl. I must say though for keeping us in waiting so long this is a pretty nice payoff.

LTJ streamed their Gainesville show online tonight. So I recorded it. Video quality was pretty bad, but the audio is ok.

edit: lol got a copywrite notice cause of the songs played over the PA at the start and end of the set. Hilarious.

Team Danger, The Get-Ups, and Soundtrack '96 are all pretty good. But Skashank is the best by a mile.

Thanks for the names.

I guess I need to pay more attention to the local ska scene. Where the hell do these bands even play?

I was in Athens for a long time and the only ska bands that ever came through were The Toasters in 2003 and Distorted Penguins maybe once or twice.

I've been in Columbus for three years, know people who book local shows, and work for one of the major concert venues, and never even heard of a (local/regional) ska band being in town.

I guess I was spoiled when I lived in Cleveland and there were a ton of local bands to fill in the gaps between tours.

This is me, but replace that with "Escape From the A Bomb House", since they played Scott Farcas at the Granada show in 2009

Just got tickets for the RBF and LTJ show in Victoria, I am massive stoked. This is like 16 year old me's dream show, haven't seen either band before. We don't get nearly enough ska on the island besides Vic Ska Fest every summer.

Listening to the new RBF for the first time. I'm only one track in, but it's not nearly as bad as their last couple of records. I was in the minority in that I kind of--kind of--liked We're Not Happy Till You're Not Happy, but just about everything they've put out since then has sucked (save the live record). But this new one is kind of catchy.

So, so, so pumped for the new SM record. I saw Tomas play an acoustic show in San Francisco a few months back, and he completely blew me away. And this was with very, very high expectations, as I *love* Streetlight Lullabies, but he played just about every song on that record, plus a ton of other ones that I didn't even know he'd composed acoustically. Can't wait to see him and SM support the new record(s).

Also, this thread has got to be one of the longest on SA that's still running, right? It's almost five years old--which makes it all the more amusing that the very first reply is, "Let's talk about a dead genre."

EDIT: I'm five songs into the new RBF and I think it's really good! Easily their best since Cheer Up (which, as a reminder, was released ten years ago).

That's not me! I had handed it off to my buddy at that point because holy gently caress that thing is hot, especially if you put the hood up. It's like a big itchy sweatbox. Those security guys were dicks, I went up during 1 800 Alarm Me and the dude basically threw me down the back stairs.

I'm in a couple of crowd shots of earlier vids, I think? I think I see myself. Who knows, that poo poo was crazy.

Also the best thing that those videos don't show is either the whole place singing That's What Friends Are For before the band came out or Jeff telling the crowd to beat the poo poo out of a guy that was trying to start a fight.

He composes all of their songs on an acoustic guitar and basically hums the horn lines, then he shows it ot the band and they flesh it out.

Just got these in the mail and they are awesome. The Shifters are the only band I had heard of and they're great. And so far, The Action League is pretty rad too.

Hey, if anyone is interested in a Jeff Rosenstock "Ask Me Anything"-type deal, there's one going on at punknews RIGHT NOW!

Also, apparently he's bringing BTMI! back to Boston. Wish: granted.
