Big D and the Kid's Table are crazy. I think that's the best way to describe this band. They play a mix of ska and punk that doesn't have any glimmer or glean of pop music. What you hear is what you get. I think that the best part about this band is their honesty and integrity that clearly shines through in their music. They're guys playing ska when the third wave of ska has come and gone. There can only be one reason why they're still making music together, and the obvious answer is because they love it.

I just received Big D's new CD in the mail, entitled How It Goes. I'll share two of the tracks off the album, but I encourage you to go out and buy the CD, or go see them with the Voodoo Glow Skulls on the 18th at the Agora.

The first song (after the intro) of the CD is one of the hardest hitting, inflammatory songs on the whole CD. It's called LAX and the stream of explictives you will hear should not scare you away from the message of the song. Sometimes, it seems as though bands use the word 'fuck' to make themselves sound cool. I don't think that's what's going on here. Sometimes the only word that comes to mind is fuck, (think the past election), and your emotions require you to use it. Just don't desensitize yourself to the word, because then it loses it's power. Every fuck in this song is sung with indignation and contempt, the way it's supposed to sound. Listen and decide for yourself.

The next song comes near the end of the album. It starts off with a nice slow ska beat, harkoning back to first and second wave ska. David McWane's vocals are a little bit of a departure from his normal sung/shout lyrics, but I think the band does well with somewhat of a slower tempo song. A contrast to LAX, but good none the less.
