The WindMemberI think you mean amazing sounding band.
They’re total bros, but dammit, they are great writers and performers. -

sophie Memberno no, i actually meant ‘Awful sounding band”besides some of their old stuff, most of their songs are just terrible ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R23ZWLkh7xM )
but they are the greatest band to see in concert, and really nice people too ! thats just why i made a topic about them.

The WindMemberThey naturally progressed from ska to ska-influenced pop rock. Perhaps you don’t like the sound they developed into, but their care and quality in song construction has only increased.

sophie Memberi don’t agree.they might have gotten more knowledge through the years, but it doesnt change the fact that they now have lost their energy and power, and everything that was making them so unique and crazy.
..hopefully they still rock on stage -

The WindMemberI firs saw them in 2005, and have seen them once or twice a year since. I most recently saw them in March when they opened for the Smashers. Their stage presence gets more amped up as they go along. They are the perfect opening act; they are a band of hype-men.

sophie Member(sorry i didnt see your reply earlier 😐 )
You’re right, to warm up a crowd ,i’ve never seen better..
they always give everything they have on stage, whether its a small or big crowd
You must be from Toronto ,right? they barrely ever travel further than Ontario .I remember travelling 2 times to toronto to see them play .. -

The WindMemberYeah, Toronto. They’re pretty much the only thing left from what little ska scene we had from eight years ago.
