The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the Day: SKApril XI

Pain, "Bottle Rocket War" from Pounded: The Official Comic Book Soundtrack (Rude Boy Mike Papa Whiskey)

Skammentary: Pain denied that they were a ever a ska band. Sorry, chaps, you may not have been influenced by roots ska or the 2-Tone revival, but being a punk band with a horn section in the 1990s pretty much makes you a ska-punk band. Their song for Cartoon Network, "Jabberjaw (Running Underwater)"—featured in the second SKApril in 2012—is every bit as much a ska-punk song as "Sell Out" by Reel Big Fish or "Danny Says" by Less Than Jake.
