I love Little Bitch. They have so many vidoes of them drinking to it. At Warped, they said send them a video of you drinking to Little Bitch and they'd put it on their site, even if you were underage. I planned to do it this summer, but got caught sneaking out twice in a row, so didn't bother to try to do it again.

It's up to You is one of my favorites, especially when Neville sings
In London town you can hear the youth them say "Take warning"
It's up to you what you really wanna do
For you were standing on the corner giving trouble
When the policeman come he say you have to move on the double, yeah
So, steppin' up the street with my little rude girl
With her 'stay-pressed' to her ankles
It's up to her what she really wants to do
It's up to you, you and strictly you and you

Good band. They're pretty much responsible for the 2-tone era of ska.
hendrixonpunk
12-20-2005, 05:09 PM
Nice. I have the S/T on vinyl and Too Much Too Young, the greatest hits or whatever. I like their original better even if the other's supposed to be a greatest hits.
And yeah, two-tone was their label, and chrysilas let them keep it too.

Yes! My favorite from them too... Ghost Town is my fall/halloween anthem, though

Their self-titled is awesome. My favorite song = Concrete Jungle. Such a good song.
One of my favourite ska bands. Favourite song is probably Pressure Drop or Monkey Man.
I never knew they covered Pressure Drop too. Lots of Maytals there.
The Specials are great. I need to get their other albums. The S/T is the only one I could find in the store though. I did get a few singles online, but my needle's broken on my record player, so those have to wait. I want a poster too.
