Review
So, you're a ska-punk band, and ska-punk is hopelessly out of vogue, even with the ska kids and the punk kids. What to do with that horn section? What to do? . . . For Mad Caddies, the solution for most of the album is to bury them in a barrage of above-average, but basically predictable, pop-punk. That the Caddies' rockers feature some catchy guitar riffs makes them far more interesting than the two chords and nasal whine offered by an army of Blink-182 clones -- but it's nothing a half-dozen bands on their label don't already do better. Mad Caddies… Read More are at their best when blowing their horns. On Rock the Plank, they do so for rather silly purposes: a ragtime punk number ("Mary Melody") and a wild pirate sing-a-long ("Weird Beard"). These tunes are disposable, but undeniably fun. That is, a perfect substitute for now tired ska beats. (MIKE MAGNUSON -- April 10, 2001)
