Kevin told me about these guys hailing from good ol' Union, New Jersey, and I must say I'm rather impressed.  The band seems to be very influenced by the Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Onyx.  And let's face it, rap+ska=musical goodness.  The first song on the album 'Xample' is a great song and tells you what these guys are all about.  Nothing else on the rest of the album caught my ear as well as Xample did, but the 6 others songs were definetly more musical goodness.  'Urban Ninja' and 'Skank Away' really rock some serious socks.  I'm talking serious.

This album came out like 6 years ago but I just got it so fuck you.  This is H2O at its 3rd best('FTTW' and Self-Titled albums own this one) and its still GREAT.  15 songs and the album only runs 30 minutes.  Perfect, I love my music fast and hard.  Exactly what H2O brings to this album.  Lyrics are very positive, as are all of Toby Morse's albums, and the music is great street/hardcore stuff.
