THE EXCEPTIONS
Royal Oak, MI

These guys have gotten around in the past  year.  Not only have 
they been featured on  the AMERICAN SKA-THIC comp, but they
have also sold over 1,500 copies of their  FLOWERING SCRUNCH 
single, and had it
picked up for distribution by Moon Records. In addition, they 
have an unreleased album  recorded.  There was some talk of 
Moon
distribution that as well, but the band has  recently fallen 
into some trouble, and they  may not stay together.

As for the music, the single isn't all I hoped it  would be.  
The title song is and instrumental,  and it's fine, but The 
second song lacks the  beat.  As for the unreleased album, it's 
pretty  good.  NO SHOES, NO SHIRT, NO
EXCEPTIONS, as it would be titled, is very  good.  It would be 
a shame if it were never  released.  It has the previously 
mentioned  instrumental, as well as an additional few. Other 
songs have the Bim Skala Bim bouncy  trombone thing going.  
Songs include the  great "Illiterate White Trash," and Ridges."
