If you're a ska fan, you'll want Something To Do. They KICK ASS!!!

This is something to listen to. Naked Pigeons Inside is extraordinarily clever lyrically, along with skank worthy melodies and tempo variations that are impressive to say the least. I'm no lesbian but I can't stop singing about looking up Mandy's plade skirt. It's rare to hear a horn section rock so hard and sound so good. The only complaint,... only 6 songs.

filling the third wave ska void!

This CD is so freakin' good I can't even stand it.
After the Ska-boom of the mid-nineties, the little kiddies moved on to other things and took their dollars with them. The Bosstones and Toasters soldier on, of course. But some of the smaller great bands of that era broke up or only limp on in diminished form -- The Smooths, The Pilfers, Pietasters, Spring-Heeled Jack USA, etc.
When CDBaby recommended this CD in addition to The Players CD I was buying, I listened to the sound clips on the site. I heard about 30 seconds of the title track before adding it to my order.
This is a completely solid EP. Tracks 1 and 5 grab you right away. Catchy, up-tempo ska that grabs you right away. Song 6 starts slower, but picks up quickly and is my reigning favorite track at the moment. And the rest of the album is strong stuff that grows on you as you play the CD over and over.
Which you will. If you like the bands I named above, or Big D and the Kids Table, or Catch-22, or Dance Hall Crashers, plunk down your $6 and pick up this EP.
