About The Best of the Worst
The Best of the Worst are a ska-punk band from New Brunswick, New Jersey, working in the harder, faster corner of the style. Their sound puts horn lines over hardcore-tempo drumming and shouted vocals, with the crust and skate-punk influences that run through the state's basement-show scene as audible as the third-wave ska ones. The songs are short and abrasive rather than sunny, and the band is known for the intensity of its live shows.
