I wish I could have seen it live! Good deal.

It's a serious attempt, I promise. I'll make sure to note it if something I submit was not an earnest attempt at creating something new.

Not what I'd call a constructive review, but I'll respond nonetheless.

I'll agree with you, we're not true Ska, and I've made no attempt to hide that. You'll find I'm sure that I've said the same thing many times before. Streetlight, however, is further from true Ska then ourselves. It would seem you've never heard any of the real stuff, so I'd suggest checking out artists like The Skatalites, Desmond Dekker, Laurel Aitken, and The Upsetters. If we're pop punk with horns (and truthfully, I don't hear the pop punk part), then Streetlight is regular punk with horns. That's not to say they're not good, and that I don't consider them Ska. We all listen to Streetlight Manifesto, and enjoy their music.

As for breaking the mold, we don't expect to, and don't try to. I don't understand why you would compare us to 'bands that think they're Ska' and pop punk, but in the same review accuse us of unwanted originality? And how is drawing attention to a wonderful genre that is unfortunately almost dead adding to its problems? We don't add any more problems than any other non-professional band. We play for fun, and play what we like.

The bonus at the end, it is a lot of noise. You're right. Pity us.

It sounds to me like someone is a bit of a misinformed hypocrite. Not to label.

Hmmm upon creating your newgrounds account, you quickly rushed over to the audio portal and reviewed four random songs! As if you were on a mission! Mine happens to be one of those four, I feel like a lucky man! Or do I need to look into this???

yeah, thanks for the comment. i agree, but this was the best i could come up with!
