This does sound a lot better over the hifi than it did in headphones last night. I guess the staging helps the live feel.
They’re pretty eclectic, but I’d say they’re a ska/punk band at the core, but who mixes in funk, soul and metal. Songs like Skankin to the Beat, Ma and Pa and basically the whole In Your Face-album are definitely ska.I never thought of fishbone as ska.

I think I first knew A Message To You Rudy from the Barenaked Ladies cover from their original demo cassette
All of the above!
@Lee Newman - since it’s fresh, I’d recommend listening to Rancid’s album “Life Won’t Wait” sometime soon as well. More later. For now, gonna throw on The Specials!

Well this and Specials is much better than what I thought when people said ska (most people in the US ain’t talking about the Wailers or Dekker when they ska either)
No one may think that after the ROTM next month.I sincerely appreciate you listening to my recs. I take recommendations very seriously when they are given to me, and sounds like you do too!
Whew! I though you were gonna say “Monkey Man” was the Highlight of Let It Bleed.By the way, Monkey Man is the highlight for me of this Specials album
Whew! I though you were gonna say “Monkey Man” was the Highlight of Let It Bleed.
Not on this album but my favorite track by the The Specials is “Ghost Town”.

I prefer Callahan’s work as Smog a bit more than his the stuff he recorded under his own name but it’s all good. Dude has a set of pipes on him and is an excellent songwriterI really like this!
You should check out…After first listen, couple of thoughts…
1. This is a discography I will be exploring in full.
2. This might open up Will Oldham and Nick Cave for me? Not sure… first dark thing outside of like late Leonard Cohen that I find myself drawn to.
