TheOneTrueBill (December 22, 2008)

Slapshot is such a terrible band.

sXenester (December 22, 2008)

False.

niveK82 (December 22, 2008)

Every time I see it on a music site, i think it is Slapstick and get my hopes up.

Rastid (December 23, 2008)

definitely just happened to me

ryannn (December 23, 2008)

a rather sad reality...me as well. I guess i'm just way too optimistic.

joeg (December 22, 2008)

slapshot? that came out of left field.

baldsteve (December 22, 2008)

Not that far left. Old Taang records line-up

sXenester (December 22, 2008)

Bosstones have covered them, as well.

You think it's weird? Try being at Slapshot's first New England show in years, never knowing if it'll happen again, and at the end of the show, Choke announcing they'll be playing again... on December 28... with the Bosstones. I lost it.

joeg (December 22, 2008)

you mean their cover of police beat? that's an ssd song.

LookingForCorpses (December 22, 2008)

They covered What's At Stake on More Noise

LookingForCorpses (December 22, 2008)

They've played New England several times in the past 5 years.

David5345 (December 22, 2008)

No their cover of Whats At Stake.

Rudy87 (December 22, 2008)

Westbound Train ftw

by the way, anyone else think the new Streetlight Manifesto CD is shit?... cause I just listened to it again, and I realized Im really not into it

MilesQToast (December 22, 2008)

I only liked a couple songs and most of those only 3/4 stars worth of like.

bwisott (December 22, 2008)

Yes to the streetlight thing

Oldpunkerforever (December 22, 2008)

they need droplick, amazing royal crowns and it would be 1997 all over again-oldpunker-

Oldpunkerforever (December 22, 2008)

I mean dropkick, Im slow today-oldpunker-

baldsteve (December 22, 2008)

Droplick is funnier. You should have kept it.

Oldpunkerforever (December 22, 2008)

it sure does read funnier-oldpunker-

FresnoSka (December 22, 2008)

One of the best shows I'd ever been to. Dropkick with Mike as the openers, Amazing Royal Crowns, Bim Skala Bim and the Bosstones. Ah, the good ol' days....

bluexmaslights (December 22, 2008)

man if i could time travel.

RamblinBoyOfPleasure (December 22, 2008)

I was gutted when dicky got kicked outta the gaslight anthem for drugs. Apparently brian fallon has formed a country side project with al barr and they may be playing at his very very show!! check y'all later!

FresnoSka (December 22, 2008)

KIcked out.....What's this all about?

shrapnel (December 22, 2008)

its a SKA day today

MilesQToast (December 22, 2008)

put it down! put it down! put it down!

IanIsSuperRad (December 22, 2008)

Anyone else not listening to anything except for Clash and Mescaleros songs today?

baldsteve (December 22, 2008)

I commend you for your loving tribute, however I've been listening to nothing but The Monsignors on repeat.

ChadReligion (December 22, 2008)

Not lately, but my wife and I are naming our son Brixton, after the district that hosted those huge riots in the early eighties.

jacknife737 (December 22, 2008)

Although i won't be attending (damn you geography!), i'm still excited. I've got tons of bootlegs and youtube videos to keep me involved.

thegimper (December 22, 2008)

MMB News?
Ska/Punk/Reggae releases from Hellcat coming in '09?
Jesse Michaels forms a new band?

What a great day to be a Ska fan!

niveK82 (December 22, 2008)

fap fap fap

Skibz777 (December 22, 2008)

Seems like pretty much the opposite, doesn't it?

JaredK (December 22, 2008)

I was hoping we'd see the return of Darkbuster...oh well.

HOISTDATRAG (December 22, 2008)

same here

ricomedy (December 22, 2008)

Damn - I'd love to see the Agents at the Providence show. The Agents opening for the Bosstones was the first show I ever saw. It was even at the same club (it was called the Strand back then).

telegraphrocks (December 22, 2008)

well, "riot on broad street" will most likely be played on the 27th.

Yossarian (December 22, 2008)

hand me a brick a stick a picket, bottle, axe or cobblestone"

David5345 (December 22, 2008)

Dammit I'm one day off from Slapshot!

mattp330 (December 23, 2008)

i saw this back in 99 it was amazing. drexel, gadjits and pilfers were the opening acts

ryannn (December 23, 2008)

I miss old ska Gadjits, well The Gadjits all together for that matter. At Ease is a great record! to me it's a fact.

nicholasdances (December 23, 2008)

saw that last year at the throwdown
