Riddled throughout this snarled-upper lip rock `n" roll effort is a sound that"s likely to make most would-be ska bands nervously upchuck their breakfasts. Upon first inspection, THE HAVE NOTS seem to adhere to the traditional boozy pub-rock formula, one that"s cemented in There"s Gonna Be a Riot, the first track on Serf City USA. Before long and without warning the record gives way to sonically charged ska-punk brilliancy and that"s a sentiment not to be taken lightly by even the most casual of listeners... If you"re looking for a healthy spark in an otherwise over-saturated genre, then the Have Nots are probably a good choice for your listening ears. Forget about the industry clutter and the many cookie-cutter punk bands that rely on a horn section to fit the bill; the Have Nots actually do the genre some justice and come out sounding fresh and new.
