RX Bandits

First off i'd like to say that i feel very lazy right now. Today brings in another third wave ska band from sunny (or windy as the case may be) Southern California. RX Bandits is a five piece Progressive/ Ska band. At times there music has brought to my mind bands the likes of The Hippos and Catch 22, to Rise Against, to The Grateful Dead (specifically Blues for Allag (mainly the breakdown of In Her Drawer availible on their myspace for free)). I guess you could say their music is kind of versatile, and it isn't really surprising that it says on their myspace under influences, "repetition is the death of art". Their songs sometimes contain heavy horns, and singing that combine for a reggae effect, like in their song Taking Chase as the Serpent Slithers which is availible for free on their myspace. At others, if the brass was removed, their music could easily be confused for any hard rock band, such as in Decrescendo. They match their ska harmonies with hard power cords and I'm loving it. http://www.myspace.com/rxbandits
