The Bay Area's Dance Hall Crashers were originally founded as a ska band and side project by Rancid members Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman, but the group evolved through several permutations into a pop-punk band with no Rancid members. The Dance Hall Crashers' major-label debut, Lockjaw, is full of staccato guitar riffing and impatient complaints about authority, but it's all set to irresistibly catchy melodic hooks. As with Green Day, the contradiction between the unhappy lyrics and the deliriously happy music comes across as a remarkably healthy response to an unhealthy social environment. Here, that response is given a fresh twist by the chirpy, twin lead vocals by Elyse Rogers and Karina Denike and by the remaining traces of Caribbean rhythms. --Geoffrey Himes

 Sophomore effort new and different September 25, 1998

This is the second album from the California band, and it took me a while to get used to it. I expected it to be more like the group's earlier stuff, but it ain't. The horns are gone and their is a harder more punk feel to the music. Once again, the lyrics focus on bad relationships, but the more I listened to it, the more I realized that the songs are more thought out and the music really fits the subject matter. My favorites are Buried Alive, Go, Sticky, and Enough. A lot of people complain that this isn't ska anymore, but who cares. Whatever it is, it works.

I found this CD in a bunch of burned CDs a friend was throwing away. It was the first one I picked up, and I let her keep the rest. After I found out who exactly I was listening to I rushed to buy the real CD. The entire Lockjaw album is upbeat and catchy, and is one you can listen to over and over. The harmonies are fun, and the band builds a solid backbone behind the girly duo. Pay special attention to the song GO- it's my personal favorite, and a good starting point for anyone looking to love DHC.

This album is not for everyone, but if you really enjoy ska it's great. The singer has a higher-pitched voice and some of the songs have drug content, which could be a down-side, it's up to you, but if you want something peppy to listen to, this is just fine.
