Cool Band...Reel Big Fish

My oldest son just turned me on to this band. May not be everyones thing (SKA) but I have to say these guys are excellent musicians and very entertaining.

Reel Big Fish SR

RBF is pretty awesome at ska. what I really like about them is the fact they've been around for awhile and still are staying ska, unlike most other ska bands that started off completely ska and are now completely punk. *cough less than jake cough*

My fav RBF album is "Why Do They Rock so Hard?" -although most of their albums have good stuff on them.

If you like these guys, you'd love the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, (early) Less Than Jake, and the Aquabats. some other people you might like is the Toasters, Mustard Plug, the RX bandits, Five Iron Frenzy, Catch 22, Streetlight Manifesto.
...I could go on. (I like ska.)

I've only heard one song - "Where Have You Been?" - and I like it a lot.

...and that's the only intelligent thing I have to say about Reel Big Fish :o

Yeah, they're cool. I played in a ska band for a while....kinda fun.

There are loads of similar bands, and if you like that sort of thing, they're all good. I saw RBF at Reading a few years back... and they certainly enjoy themselves on stage...

Sublime are a different class though... :cool:

Don't forget Aaron's old side project, The Forces of Evil or Suburban Rhythm (major influence on RBF) or The Mad Caddies.


Turn the Radio Off is where it's at for me with this band. Nothing quite takes me back to being 16 or 17 like that album.
