When put on the spot, Ghost Town.

But really, I don't think I could choose a favourite.

I could maybe tolerate some Reel Big Fish this time of year.

But summer is for ska music. Winter I tend to settle deeper into discordant melodic over that kind of brightness 💜

I was just about to say ‘thank fuck nobody’s mentioned Madness’, just a covers band.

The originals they covered are far more worth a listen.
