Funny Looking Kids play a fairly standard blend of ska and punk, inject it with humour, and a little experimentation. Unfortunately, you could have replaced FLK with a lot of bands, and you probably wouldn't have gotten my attention. Musically, the band sounds good, and if they wrote straightforward pop-punk, I might find it less annoying, but ska, generally, has a quick annoyance factor. Years after the Reel Big Fish, the Catch 22s, and a decade after Operation Ivy, not to mention the Clash, you really have to blow me away to get me to listen. And, sorry, but this just didn't accomplish that.

Basically (I'm sorry, but it's true, fellas) this should have been a demo tape sold to people at crappy shows in people's houses. That is how it works. You gotta work your way up, improving along the way. The production isn't great, but that isn't the problem, because it is nice to hear some bad production. Keepin' it real, yo. Anyhow, the Funny Looking Kids are fast, adolescent punk rock with ska like I used to play in a large shed behind a supermarket in Stone Harbor, NJ when I was 16.
