Their sound, which fuses raw punk with lively ska, made waves not only in the U.S.
but, as mentioned, also among punk fans in Japan.
Their 1998 second album, the highly acclaimed Battle Hymns, consists mostly of aggressive short tunes under two minutes, showcasing a hardcore-leaning take on skacore.

By the way, their self-titled third album from 2000 emphasizes a power-pop sound influenced by bands like The Beatles.
It’s a release where you can enjoy another facet of the band, but those expecting their ska punk or hardcore punk side should take note!
