Skammentary: Welcome to SKApril! We open the most bouncy month o' the year with Scotland's ska juggernaut, Bombskare, providing a counterpoint to uncritical 1990s nostalgia by way of uncritical 1980s nostalgia. That said, "My Life in the Nineties" is much more '90s third-wave ska-punk than '80s 2-Tone, both musically & lyrically: the '90s were such a shambles in large part because of the protagonist's romantic disasters.
A Fistful of Dynamite is Bombskare's debut album, from 2009. Ska! Ska! Ska!
