MU330
Crab Rangoon
Asian Man
Chumps On Parade is pretty hard to top in my book, but MU330 have more than pulled it off with their latest. Crab Rangoon (their third full-length) has their catchiest, best-written songs to date. Quality third-wave ska/ska-punk fused with all the right pop sensibilities. Smooth yet with a bite. Strong vocal melodies, untypical lyrics, rad horns and outstanding recording all help, too. Amazing stuff that definitely stands out amongst the standard ska-punk schlock. _Asian Man Records, P.O. Box 35585, Monte Sereno, CA 95030; www.asianmanrecords.com_
