As a cover - not bad. Don't like this 2nd-wave Ska, though (Gimme The Specials, The Selecter, 2-Tone), and, not a fan of the Sloan/Barri song, either (I'm strictly in the Edwin Astley camp).
this is one of the very rare songs where i think the cover is better than the original. and i don't even like ska. i am huge devo fan but i prefer this over the devo cover of the same song.
If you all like these guys you should check out other great Ska bands like Mephiskapheles, The Pietasters, Lets Go Bowling, and the Voodoo Glow Skulls!
it's off of the Hard Band for the dead., a toasters album by the way. coolie was the vocalist for an album and even toured with them. I saw them. Then a couple of years ago they played it without him just as well. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just wondering, would you consider the Toasters 2tone or 3rd wave? I know they in the early 80's, and have a bit about them. Anybody got an idea?
