Album Notes

The debut release of CT’s Llama Tsunami and the Without Helmet, “Get Serious” captures the essence of the band’s primary message. The fun-loving group of friends performs purely for the love of the music and their live shows are a community of others who love it as much. The title of the album is both ironic and fitting. In a way, it mocks those who take themselves far too seriously and are unable to laugh at a joke at their own expense, but it also recognizes the necessity for dedication. As the band’s first full length studio album, it offers their light-hearted approach to songwriting and tempers that with more mature songs with a deeper message. There is something for everyone on this album, but in the end the album is simply lots of fun. As the band says, “We play ska. Some people don’t like us because apparently ska isn’t fun anymore. We beg to differ.”
