Hey. Cheers for taking the time to listen and respond, P J. Thanks.
That's actually me singing the second track. I definitely think the other guy has a better voice though and I do alright backings.
We did have a trumpet player for a while but he moved away for a postgrad course. I've got the sax player from another band I'm in to start learning our stuff if we do joint live shows. I wish we knew someone to play trumpet though.
We're not actually trying to be like some of the bands we look up to such as Reel Big Fish or Less Than Jake, we've kinda of got more of a pop-punky sound with a bit of ska mixed in. We've just recorded another three tracks which probably demonstrate that better.
Surprisingly, you probably have a bunch of American and Canadian ska bands (Subb or old Goldfinger, for example) that we sound sort of similar to and yet over here there is nothing really like that (besides perhaps Spunge). Most bands tend to go the 'skacore' route which I dislike (Capdown, King Prawn).
We're always improving. It's just our drummer that isn't really committing to it and doesn't really practise or learn anything. Oh well, I've always got the other band...
