I've been listening to 28 Teeth for soooo many years. This album is another one of those "time travel" records for me...takes me straight back to my early days of just being out of college and drinking copious quarts of beer. It never fails...every time I listen to the record I feel like getting an Olde English.
Buck-O-Nine has been around since the early nineties, yet nobody really knows that because grunge was king during that time. So, the SoCal (San Diego, to be exact) band hashed out their sound and perfected their craft for a few years before releasing the ska masterpiece, 28 Teeth.
I won't spend too much time on the band itself. They're still going strong and their website is pretty good. Good check it out...www.buckonine.com.
One weird sidenote about this band. I went to see Primus (Primus sucks!) and lo' and behold, Buck-O-Nine were the opener. It was such a weird pairing but I had a blast. Or at least I think I had a blast. Malt Liquor, folks.
Here's the track run-down and some funsies about some of them.
1. Round Kid. Love this song. Seriously, cannot get enough of this one. It's a go-to when I need a little pick me up.
2. Nineteen. "Anything is possible". Great song. It moves and grooves, folks.
3. Albuquerque. Another fun ska tune. Upbeat with motion...lyrics are inconsistent with the feel of the music. Which may be why it works. The horns are great on this one, though.
4. Tear Jerky. The horn section in this band is so fucking tight. Really great players.
5. I'm the Man.
6. Jennifer's Cold. This song is hilarious. Such a mundane topic. I should research this some more but I have a feeling that it was written as a serious diss to someone named Jennifer.
7. Steve Was Dead.
8. What Happened to my Radio?. Remember folks, this album came out before any streaming services existed and iTunes appeared. So, we spent much time with the radio...you know, the real radio? Seems so archaic. This was Buck-o-Nine lamenting how shitty radio was back then.
9. Twenty-Eight Teeth. Title track showcases just how good the horn section is.
10. Peach Fish.
11. Record Store. Once again, back in the day, kids, we used to go to places called record stores. Where they sold CD's and Records. Weird concept, right? Great fucking tune, though.
12. My Town. The standout track on this album. "My town, my street...". Listen to this and just try to be depressed. I fucking dare you.
13. Little Pain Inside. Goofy song. Filler.
Twenty Eight Teeth is a throwback to the days where radio existed, record stores existed, and ska music was actually well regarded. It's a great record; definitely worth the forty minutes or so to let it run end to end. Give it a try, fuckers!
