Atlas & Oracle recommends:

There are parts to dance to, there are parts to headbang to, and sometimes you'll want to do both in the same song. Each song is its own sonic world. Ska, but also punk, metal, and indie.

This album takes a traditionally rooted but definitively modern approach to ska with an anti-racist message that's refreshingly political. One of the best debuts in ska, and there's stiff competition.
