SKApril!

The Rebel Black Dot Song of Holy Saturday
The Bruce Lee Band, "Last Words This Morning" from the Beautiful World E.P. (T.L.A.M.)

Skammentary: I was sorely tempted by The Bruce Lee Band's cover of "She's An Angel" by They Might Be Giants, but as great as it is it isn't a ska song, as so many songs aren't on The Bruce Lee Band's self-title album. The Beautiful World E.P., though, that is six tracks of pure ska brilliance, more akin to 1980s 2-Tone than to the ska-punk period in which the E.P. was released. The Bruce Lee Band is one of the many bands of Asian Man Records founder Mike Park's; SKApril would be much the poorer without Mr. Park, as both a musician in his own right & as a label-owner.
