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

The Suicides Machines, "Break the Glass" from Destruction by Definition (Rude Boy Mike Papa Whiskey)

Skammentary: Hard to believe, but this is The Suicide Machines' SKApril debut. The fault is mine. I can best explain it by The Suicide Machines' following album, Battle Hymns, moving further away from ska; as the Summer of Ska bubble bursts, many bands abandoned the ska sound, as The Suicide Machines would do witht heir third, self-titled album, leading to lots of self-righteous indignation by newbie ska kids like me. I basically dismissed The Sucide Machines. I ought not have done so.

How many more times do you think I could have shoehorned into that paragraph the words The Suicide Machines?
