1996 - The Summer of Ska
Ska Punk music is becoming more and more popular. Bands such as Reel Big Fish and Less Than Jake are at the peak of their popularity. On through the summer, Ska is the music of choice for anyone looking to have a good time.
2006 - Where is the Ska?
Everyone in the world has all but completely forgotten Ska music, and everyone associated with it. Bands have moved on to a more tender, "Emo" sound. Only a bunch of idiots would try to start a ska band.
These idiots are Not Quite Trendy
Hailing from Miller Place, New York, these bunch of teens attend high school by day, acting as normal teenagers, and by night, they are Crime Fighting Badasses... but not really. In reality, they just play in a crappy Ska band because they don't have much else to do... And they can't even make real, good ska. Having been together for 3 years, they have yet to do much with their musical careers, except for write a few songs. To their amazement, people actually like their music!
Believe me, they're just as stunned as you are.
