Bones is for the dogs. Put some meat on that girl and The Skibz will take her for a ride. ;D

...after marriage, that is. Dang, it's really hard to be misogynistic with a Protestant morality. :(

Luther also really hated Jews, so I'm a bit hesitant to elect him as my personal moral guide even though he stands at the root of my beliefs. It's kinda like how the guy who runs the local bowling alley hates Middle Eastern people but I can still enjoy bowling AND falafel in my personal time. All that really counts is the Word of ol' JC, can you dig?

droneclone (January 21, 2013)

I dig. Jesus was way cool. He told people to eat his body and drink his blood.

That's so cool.

Skibz777 (January 21, 2013)

I don't have a problem with that...I'll start eating out Jesus myself once I'm eligible for communion.

0/10.

"...but it was time to break free from that marriage [with ska-punk] and move onwards and upwards, and just be a band and not base our decisions on what the scene will think."

Well, they've got one up on Reel Big Fish, at least.

I haven't heard much of SB6, though I have to admit their explanation behind leaving the ska-punk scene was quite eloquent. A lot of former ska bands would talk circles around the minutest change in style to try to hold onto scene credibility , but this guy's relatively straightforward and honest. I can respect that, even if I personally don't respect their music.

droneclone (January 21, 2013)

You're just jealous of Reel Big Fish.

cpp_ (January 21, 2013)

I really like this band, don't know why but they are definatly a guilty pleasure.

bandgeekmafia78 (January 22, 2013)

I went to the same school as Barney and Leila. Top top people. They deserve all the success they get because they've worked really hard to get this far.

FelixT (January 22, 2013)

How are your teeth?

bandgeekmafia78 (January 23, 2013)

That doesn't even make sense.

CityRocker (January 22, 2013)

Saw them for the first time in years at a festival in the Czech Republic this year. It all depends what you're expecting... I knew they'd moved on from the 1st couple of albums but plenty of the crowd spent a lot time screaming for the older songs...and the place went mental at 3am on a sunday night monday/morning when they did play them!!! Hell of a band to close a festival with!

wearestillalive (January 27, 2013)

Barney is a proper good dude, actually. Even if I'm not so in to these guys' records so much anymore, they're always good fun live and it's great to see them do well - they've worked long and hard for it.
