Turn the Radio Off by Reel Big Fish


While I'm fairly certain Reel Big Fish needs no introduction I will give a summary just the same. Reel Big Fish started in 1991 and quickly became the quintessential ska-punk band of the 90s and into today. Mixing ska with punk and rock'n'roll sensibilities they made a name for themselves with fun songs that are easy to sing to. Even today a large portion of their live sets includes songs from their label debut album. By1996 they had signed to Mojo Records and were ready to release Turn the Radio Off. Their lead single and most popular song to date was Sell Out a song commenting on many peoples belief that the band themselves had sold out. Stand out tracks for this album are... the entire album I mean seriously from beginning to end I can't in all honesty pick tracks that stand out from the rest. If you somehow don't have this album or have never listened, get out from under that rock of yours!

Nate: As always I've added scans of my copy, unfortunately the booklet on my copy as well as many of my other cd's are in pretty bad shape. This is due to two reasons, one I mostly buy used cd's and two my younger brother (when he was little, like 6 or so) spill chocolate milk across many of my cd's. Please forgive the condition! Also on this release the booklet folded out to a large poster like sheet, I've done my best to piece it together but my scanner isn't very large.
