    Didn’t see a dedicated thread for this so I thought I’d pick it up.

    For the 1st wave, 2nd wave, 3rd wave...all those riding the 4th wave.

    Before that Lawrence Arms album dropped last week this was easily my #1 contender for album of the year. It's been forever since a ska-punk record grabbed me like this one.

    It's like they took Less Than Jake's energy, the melody and vibes of RX Bandits, and melded it with the horn section of Streetlight Manifesto. I hear shades of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones in the guitar work as well...

    Phenomenal album.

    That, it does!

    I'd also suggest the new Joystick album if you're looking for a modern take on the ska-core sound that the Bosstones left behind a while back. It kinda sounds like Pears if they had ska parts.

    All the bands name checked in that article are fantastic! That Kill Lincoln record was one of my favorites from last year, and Catbite was a favorite from the year prior.

    I'd also suggest giving Call Me Malcolm, Grey Matter, and Joystick a look if you like the whole "ska-punk" thing with just a bit more "punk."

    Joystick reminds me of Flatliners ”Destroy to Create” but with horns.

    Definitely an apt comparison.

    Found Millington tonight and holy shit. To go with the “sounds like X with horns” comparison I’m going with Fireworks (and maybe a little NFG) with horns -
