Why is Boston such a great city for breeding punk and ska bands?
Boston just has tons of talented people. It makes sense that it has given us what it has. Also it’s a blue collar city that’s really into hard work. People in Boston live and die for what they believe in you know. It’s got a great underground scene which is why I think it tends to flourish more than other cities. We got a lot of help from the Bosstones when we were first starting out. Those guys will always rule. Cory Williams left the band shortly after Transitions was recorded. Did that come as a surprise or was it somewhat expected? He was out before we made the record. He just did some tours and made the record so that our schedule wouldn’t get messed up and until we brought someone up to speed. Ska, as a genre, has ebbed and flowed in popularity over the years. Ever thought about ditching the horn section and going for an easy buck as a pop/punk band? Never! If I wanted to be in a pop band I would have started a pop band. We enjoy the challenges that come along with playing reggae
