Skammentary: The Hippos are the first SKApril All-Stars of this 2023 festival, having furnished a song for every SKApril all the way back to 2011. This is all the more impressive since The Hippos only released three albums before breaking up & were one of the first bands I liked to move away from the ska sound, so that really only one & a half of those albums is ska-punk. The last two years, I've despaired of The Hippos' chances of retaining their All-Star status, only for them to come through in the clutch.
