Band: Big D and the Kids Table/Drexel
Album: Shot By Lammi
Reviewer: Glen Smyth

Although I've been moving away from ska/punk Big D and The Kids Table is one band I really enjoyed. With their Operation Ivy style and continuous offbeat they are one band that stands out from the latest offerings the Americans are throwing at us. The first song "In Front of Me" has great jumpy guitar with powerful horns playing a tune you will want to come back to. There is even a song about a turtle in the way of "Jeremy" and some songs with hardcore influences in "Stupid Mind". Favourite song though is "Giving It Up", which has an excellent tune.
Drexel's half of the CD gives a dose of pop/punk combining good fast punk rock with expressive vocals. I feel people right into punk would appreciate Drexel more than me however, but stand outs songs include "BCM", "You Wanted It" which I think is awesome, and "Alright".
