Brunt Of It lies somewhere in the vast void between Bad Brains and Bad Manners. Forged from the ashes of West Coast ska hardcore legends Hoodlum Empire in 1995, the Rhodachusettes boys are celebrating 30 years of their own blend of hardcore punk rock, clashy reggae & 'No Wave' ska. 'It's A Mad, Bad, Sad, Rad World' is their 4th and newest record, the first in 13 years after a hiatus of having kids, building businesses and solo adventuring around the globe. Back with a full horn section, keys and dual lead vocals, you won't hear another band quite like them in the current sea of cookie cutter ska punk. Putting their own spin on the politics of today, the hopes and dread of tomorrow and the horrors of yesterday, the album covers a wide swath of the many sub-genres of ska. From 3rd wave pop, to latin infused, to clashy euro, surfy vibes and straight up 80's punk, this record rides the rollers with a sense of bewilderment for all that rock and roll ska has to offer. Recorded mostly on their own, but finished and mixed by engineer mastermind Trevor Riley (A Wilhelm Scream) at Anchors End studios in New Bedford, MA, this record sounds like a freight train of sound, meshing blasting horns, intricate vocal harmonies and interesting song writing that takes turns you may not expect but were desperate to hear. The dynamics from loud and crunchy, to controlled and melodious, this record is a roller coaster of motion and emotion. Songwriters Boofish & NicRob write about their experiences, their stories, their optimism and pessimism for the world. The first track features Dave McWane (Big D & The Kids Table), and the album was recently championed by the Mighty Mighty Bosstones: 'These guys are not faking it. They have something to say and they sound good saying it.' adding that the record is 'Everything Your Favorite Bands Are Not Anymore'. That's high praise!
