I remember back in the day (a few years ago) there were a few other people who were fans of this band. For those who don't know, they were a christian ska band that existed between the years of 1995 and 2003, their final album released in 2004 (a live album of their final show.) A lot of their music also implemented other styles too, like metal, rockabilly, lounge, punk, etc. Most people likely know them for their silly songs, but what I really appreciated was their more spiritual, meaningful work. "Every New Day" remains one of my favorite songs to date, and "One Girl Army," "Second Season," "All That is Good," etc, are other good examples of their more serious work. They were also frequently critical of things like the christian music industry, capitalism, the treatment of native americans (Banner Year, Crazy Horse) and themselves (Eulogy, Plan B).

They were a big inspiration to me during my formative years, and they remind me a lot of happy times, like driving down to California to visit my brother. Their side project, Brave Saint Saturn (or BS2 for short) were pretty awesome, too. They were more dark and serious than Five Iron Frenzy, having only one silly song (Shadow of Def.) They actually came out with an album as recent as last year. Roper-a band lead by lead singer Reese Roper, and I don't remember any other FIF members being in it-had some good stuff, but was not as good as FIF or BS2.

At the end of this year, Five Iron Frenzy is coming out with a new dvd. If you were a fan, you should check it out. I have a link to the site dedicated to it in my sig (and also a link to the official Brave Saint Saturn website.) Anyhoo...
