"Oi! Don’t call them Fourth Wave. Like any genre, ska music has experienced noticeable ebbs and flows in popularity. But just because it’s waned doesn’t mean it’s gone. Exhibit A: Husbands AKA. The quintet has roots in each of ska’s supposed three waves. From Jamaican rock-steady to Two Tone to the more recent punk-infused incarnations, Burlington’s reigning rude boys deliver a high-octane offbeat assault as authentic as it is audacious." Dan Bolles, Sevendays

Hell yeah, was a fun show, Sep for that moHawk kid (he kindda sucked). Same for you guys too, we can probably hook you up with a MAINE show if you'd like, just give me a date and we'll work something out. ~J♥N~
I was not able to take one because I could't get camera on friday, but I'll be taking videos' of the 242 Halloween show, and whatever your show after that is, is that in the works?
Heeeeeeellllllll yes! I hope we can get over to Vermont/you guys can get over here to play more shows together and just generally cause trouble and have a good time. It's not that far away, we can make some magic.
