Tracks 7 to 20 were originally located on Slapstick's only full-length album, Lookit!

Awesome! Loved these dudes back in the 90s. Brandon Kelly/Dan Adriano - great combo.

Man...this fits exactly into what I would describe as "mehester"core circa 1998. As someone who tried to push his high school band in a ska-punk direction (and is from ~ 2 hrs away from Chicago) it is shocking to me I have never heard of Slapstick before today. Great fun tunes. Shame they broke up before really getting started. 4.5/5

These guys love trumpets more than I love cheese! An absolute joyful racket - a great shout

I love Less Than Jake and Mad Caddies, plus Alkaline Trio are one of my favourite bands, so yea this is right up my street

More ska... my appetite for it is less than what this list is producing. Clever and talented fellows here for sure, and it's the good old punk sensibility - 25 songs coming in comfortably under an hour. Really not up for nearly an hour of these vocals but I'll chalk that up to preference.

Really stupid, but not entirely unlikable 3
