They have some decent stuff. More traditional ska - makes a change from all the ska-punk I've got. A lot of their stuff is very similar though.

Check out their early record Skapocalypse Now for some good stuff to dance to - every song except one has the perfect tempo/beat.

Check out The Hippos too for similar style stuff.

They arn't toooo bad. I don't really listen to them much anymore, but they would play at Club Soda here in Kalamazoo a lot.

Yeah, planet smashers are is some hot shit. But Mustard Plug...they're not very unique. As a 3rd Wave band i can't say i like them too much. Anyone who likes Mustard Plug should check out Rx Bandits and Home Grown.

Yeah - RX Bandits are awesome - some good reggae-influenced stuff on 'Halfway Between Here And There'. I saw them support Fenix TX a few years back and they rocked the place.

But homegrown? Are they ska at all? Very good pop-punk none-the-less.

i don't really like the planet smashers...they seem to rely on their lead singer for the quality of their songs, the horns and stuff don't seem like a large part of the sound...almost like it's just backup...but hey, however you get your thrills

Home grown don't have any ska song at all, do they? Yes, they are pretty poppy, but I still do like them too. A very good example of pop-punk done well. They played a really small club in my town last month, but it sold out and they wouldn't sell any more tickets at the door.

Dude, the Bosstones do rule. I saw them at a festival with a big crowd about a year and a half ago and didn't think they were too great, maybe because I didn't know much of their stuff and it was such a big crowd with no room to dance. Then I saw them last year (with Snuff and Consumed) and they fucking ruled. For sure one of the best shows I've been to.
