One of the survivors of the mid-90s retread of the ska movement (the terrifying third wave), the Aquabats dress up like superheroes, act it out on stage, have video presentations they clearly made themselves projected behind them, and get in fights with costumed villians, all between pumping out some of the most energetic rocking music I can remember in my life. I had almost forgotten my high-school infatuation with being a Bat Cadet when my little sister, having found an album in my old closet, asked me to take her to a concert. They're still the best, and I'd recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone that can survive a crowd that roars and moves like a dangerous sea.
