Keasbey Nights, Catch 22, 1998, :46
★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆
Nasally-voiced, decent ska-punk band with a few catchy hooks but not much to say over these 14 tracks, leading to the sing-along choruses being repeated until they lose their appeal. The jokey tone doesn't exactly help with their lack of gravitas. That sounds harsh, but this isn't actually a bad listening experience. It's just not very good. Anyway, I'm sure they'd sneer at my old-man values. As always, the horn section is the most talented bunch. The song "Katrina She Don't Know I Exist" is a rather off-putting "nice guy" anthem. Favorite tracks: "Keasbey Nights," "9mm And a Three Piece Suit," "On & On & On."
