Throwing the Game in Bloomington, MN

These Chicago boys know how to throw a party, cramming a little bit of
punk
,
ska
, and
hip-hop
into their busy mix, but it's all familiar stuff. Moving to a big label has sharpened their sound, disguising the obvious limitations of the songs themselves. Best cut:
"Fred Astaire,"
a longing love song that name-drops the hoofer for no apparent reason, but manages to charm nonetheless. ~ Michael Gallucci
