Flying the flag for English ska/punk but so, so, much more. Love the energy, the catchiness, the impeccable musicianship, the knowing lyrics. Matt's perfectly suited voice, those killer bass lines, guitar bossing those ska upstrokes until it's time to shred... All driven by an atomic clock of nuclear powered drums along with that sweet, sweet horn section helping everything to come together in an orgasmic explosion for the ears/brain.
I like these folks, can you tell? Weldermatt
