they were big in my high school. then again my high school was full of wops and then I went to trade school and suddenly they were the proto-scene kids' favorite band. them and No Doubt and Save Ferris. I fucking hate ska. dub and 70s reggae is ok but ska can jump off a cliff.
the fucked up thing is I love Bad Brains who inspired them. leave the genre to blacks. white folks have zero business playing that shit unless its first wave shit like the Specials and Madness. the trope got old after that.
