like blog
found this at The Chariots site
they are a SKA band from DC
with a few cyclists in the mix
The Chariots are playing tonight
unlikely I will catch it
but... you should
it may have been over 20 years since I heard anything by The Specials
GHOSTOWN is an amazing song

Agreed on Gosttown.
Boy, the early/mid 80s were a magical time!
And are we getting old!
I still have my original "This is Two Tone" t-shirt. It is as ragedy as it can get, but I just can't throw it out.
I think out of all those bands, the Specials were the best, but the Selecter still sound pretty damn eery.

I shamelessly have Ethan Brown's 12 inch LP of Ghosttown
we lent each other a few records
it took nearly a decade for me to get Minor Threat's Out of Step LP from Jason Kolker
sure I could have bought another release
but that was my copy
which I went all the way to Yesterday and Today Records in the outreaches of Rockville to buy on the day it was released
it was the least ornate of the releases
it may have lacked the insert of the later releases
but
it was the first release
I wonder if I still have my Minor Threat collect on CD
if not
I may need to buy it again
these films like American Hardcore have had me enjoying a some steps back in time
