well, i don't even know if you can call them a 'ska' band anymore. They definitely started out as a ska band, but at least since "Tragic Kingdom" the ska elements are mixed with many other influences. Their latest album is called "Rock Steady", but if you can call that Rocksteady it's a pretty poppy approach to that genre, yet quite well done. Also, they have had some punk and new wave influence, so it's difficult to classify them. Great music after all.

To me it's not even mostly the lyrics that impress me...they're quite good and creative, but the reason I'm getting addicted to this band is often the song as a whole and also especially how it's done musically. Even if it's a simple composition I often can't stop listening to it, sometimes not even knowing why. Eg "Happy Now", that one riff just keeps blowing my mind and i can't help it lol (i heard some of that song's from a Blondie track or something but i dunno, it ain't even only that riff, it's almost every musical bit of this track). And overall i really think they're quite creative and unique, I wouldn't claim to be 'versed' in anything except hiphop and mos def not in their genre, but they're irreplaceable to me at the moment. Tbh, me personally I'm feelin them more than any hiphop artist right now

Eddie G.:
Well, I really felt "Tragic Kingdom" when it first came out, and that was when I was like 8 or 9.  The album is still good though , but they have been declining since then, even though I still like thier music more than most other rock bands.
