Ten Foot Pole
Insider
Epitaph Records

This CD mixes the sound of punk with the vocal styles of ska, which makes it an interesting listen. Most of the songs on it are pretty good, but they'd have to spend more money and time to get to the charts in Wyoming or at least to where Less Than Jake is. "The Getaway" is an awesome song, and I wouldn't doubt we'll hear some talk about it later in time. Ten Foot Pole does keep a lot of their songs related to life and not dreamy ideas. That's always a plus, but at some points in the CD, you can't understand exactly what they're talking about. If I had to give a grade, I would give it a B. But I don't mind adding it to my collection for a couple of songs. I do have one question about the cover - is that a piranha or a snake?
