For Fans Of: Gogol Bordello, The Arrogant Sons of Bitches, Butcher Knives

First of all, before you begin to get your hopes up after hearing this totally amazing, mind numbingly energetic, fun, and all around fantastic band, it does NOT seem if they have any plans to tour extensively outside of California or record new material at this time. Now let me explain why that is the biggest bummer in the entire world and why it's such a tragedy. Grim Luck! doesn't just provide some enjoyable ska punk. They provide ska punk that is so distinctly it's hard to think of a truly fair comparison for them. They borrow from a vast multitude of genres, including, but not limited to Roma "gypsy" jazz (many people within the "gypsy" culture consider the word to be a slur), hardcore, and ska punk to create one totally massive pummeling sound. Every song is a flurry of horns, pounding drums, and vocals that beg to be shouted along to. The energy never truly drops with Grim Luck! and it's just infectious. These songs make you want to dance, punch the air, and sing along. I challenge anyone to try and find at least one song on this release, or any of their releases, that they don't absolutely fall in love with. Oh yeah, and they have a song about the Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, "Going to Candied Island!!". I also love their use of exclamation points.
