I am really surprised that so many people remember such a forgettable band as SGR. At best they were one of the less terrible of about a dozen or so ska bands cranking out bland, quirky third wave ska and wacky 80s covers in the Philadelphia/New Jersey area during that time. I always thought that Public Service and The Slackers never got the attention they both deserved, though. I heard that Public Service is playing again, which is really cool. Out of that 90s era surge in popularity, I still listen to the Pie Tasters (new album out now!), The Pilfers, The Blue Meanies and Let's Go Bowling. I really liked the bands that seemed to look at ska as another influence to be melded with their own sound and not something to do before they stepped on the distortion pedal and launched into the chorus.

seventeen posted:Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person on the planet that loves the Voodoo Glow Skulls I actually wore out the record "Who is, this is" when I got it and then played the tape I made of it until it broke. After that I couldn't get into any of their later work. I saw them with Skankin' Pickle and I was just amazed by how flawlessy SP blew them out of the water. I don't know what I expected from SP but I thought the Voodoo Glow Skull fans would be tougher and more energetic than a bunch of drunk guys screaming, "WHOODOO VOODOO WE DO?" over and over again. It was disappointing. So I am with you on their first couple releases.
