Day 9: Three Cheers for Disappointment - The Arrogant Sons of Bitches
Oh, this album. This is one of the few albums I just always listen front to back when a song comes into rotation. Huge ska punk album with an aesthetic change to be more aggresively frenetic musically but lyrically so unabashedly and emotionally honest and raw. Such a large album from a largely underrated band thay didn’t receive much attention until after they broke up. This is the album that turned my attention to @jeffrosenstock’s songwriting prowess and the aesthetics, culture, and sound behind Bomb the Music Industry!

Day 1: Everything Goes Numb - Streetlight Manifesto
This was the album that started it all- while I had listened to punk rock and ska, Streetlight Manifesto and this album specifically were what made me want to play in a ska band in high school (in fact, my future @thetwotoneboners bandmates who went to my high school geeked out on this album with me! -and yes, I know Streetlight Manifesto really is more eclectic than ska-punk). Huge, eclectic sounds with solid instrumentalists and such angsty lyricism spoke to teenage band geek me!
