  • Canadian ska/punk band The Johnstones open their fifth studio album, SUCK, with this ska tune. Vocalist/guitarist Jarek Hardy told us that their intention with the record was to "implant into people's brains that first and foremost we are a ska band." He added: "That's why we put that first song on the album, it just made sense."
