Grapefruit Prehistoric Hijinks EP

I am actually pretty fond of a lot of third wave ska/ska-punk, but I’ll be the first to admit the genre has more misses than hits. This EP feels like filler for the most part, like the songs that would be between the super-energetic, catchy highlights of an album that doesn’t exist. It’s melodic enough, but it lacks memorable hooks or choruses—it’s not bad, but feels unnecessary. It went through me evoking little to no response. The lack of horns makes me think of the IMPOSSIBLES, but without all the personality and definitely not enough energy. It’s gonna be a pass for me.
