SKApril!

The Rebel Black Dot Song of A.N.Z.A.C. Day
The Chinkees, "Norehapshida" from The Chinkees… Are Coming! (T.L.A.M.)

Skammentary: Another of Mike Park's personal bands, The Chinkees don't always play ska, but when they do they remind us that horns are not a requirement of the genre, not as fundamental as the beat & the attitude. Also, I have no idea what the word "Norehapshida" means, nor to what language it belongs. (Were I to hazard a guess, I'd guess Japanese.)

"It's not the past, it's the present,
And I'm working hard on my life;
Proud of the the things that I've done,
I keep striving…"
