Skammentary: My first Dance Hall Crashers album was either Purr (1999) or The Live Album: Witless Banter and 25 Mildly Antagonistic Songs of Love (2000), a great introduction to their catalogue. Only later would I go back & get Lockjaw (1995) & Honey, I'm Homely! (1997), & the The Old Record (1989-1992) compilation (1996). D.H.C. were instrumental in expending my conception of ska beyond the brassy ska-punk from Orange County (plus The Mighty Mighty Bosstones & Less Than Jake), because most of their post-1992 output has been without a horn section.
