Formed as a backup band by Aaron Barrett in case Reel Big Fish went under, The Forces of Evil screamed on to the stage in 2001. The group was in essence a supper group of ska, combining members of Reel Big Fish, Jeffries Fan Club, The Scholars, and Lone Raspberry. Their sound was similar to Reel Big Fish's efforts and as such is the reason the group disbanded. The official member roster has each artist replacing their last name with 'Evil'. Stand out tracks for me are Dance the Night Away with its insane dance-ability and Maybe I'm Wrong with if only for the final line because it really is in your head that you're better off dead.
