Reel Big Fish, Californian ska melodic punk legends have released their first full length studio album in 6 years. I am glad that I was able to listen and review the record for our zine.

Formed in the 1990-ies as one of the many Californian bands that came out at that time, they differed from the others with their ferocious live shows, excellent blend of melodic punk, ska and reggae and persistence and hard work. Now, almost 25 years later, led by original lead singer and song writer Aaron Barrett the guys released this, new album.

The album contains 14 songs of melody, great fun, anthemic choruses, catchy verses and above all fun. I love listening every second of this record. From the more straight reggae ska songs like I´d Rather Get It Wrong accross playful Walter´s Highlife to the mighty enjoyable title track, this record just brought smile upon my tired face and made me forget all the troubles for a while making me dream of Summer, festivals, my friends, beer and dancing in the warm Sun. I hate winter. This record is making it easier during winter, and then when Summer comes it will serve as a perfect soundtrack to sunny punk days.
