just heard a cut from their new album on the radio; my opinion is the same.

They took the reggae beat and converted it to contemporay rap style, including the lyric style (which is not the same cadence as reggae) and the annoying interrupter gimmick.

They are neither reggae nor ska, not even the newer ska (reel big fish)

not impressed. Nap time.

I won't be checking them out. I am actually kind of happy that after 3 late nights, I get a chance to sleep in on Sunday. No reason to show up until Willie goes on stage. No offence to the Grace fans or anything---I've seen her a few times and she's cool but this old fart would rather get some much needed beauty sleep. Too bad they didn't put Wilco before Willie---I'd be looking at at least another hour or so of dreamy goodness.

heard another cut from their album today on the radio. Not impressed but they are fine for afternoon filler/warm-up
