http://www.battleofthebands.com/bb10/bands/travistyandthescrewups/

These amazing kids down in New Mexico need our help.
Listen to both songs listed there all the way through, the more people that listen to it all the way through, the more votes they get.

More votes mean better chance of playing at Warped Tour.

Frankly, I completely love this crazy as mix in music. I've never heard such heavy ska before in my life.

(help us out please? I'm not one for a shameless plug, but still, it would be awesome if these kids finally get the break they deserve)

If they're so good at ska, how come they spelled travesty wrong, and don't have a ska pun in their name to begin with?

The guy's name is Travisty.

I'm smarter than nearly everyone else so far.

May just not be my music, but it's just... noise. Random, random noise.

The horn section made me really sad. Like, that... "sounds really awful" kind of sad.

If they got their horn section together and picked a tempo that everyone agrees to play in, maybe they'd be kinda decent.

...maybe.

Thanks for the link, though...

True Red White and Blue kind of kicked ass.

I just like the instrumentals. They were catchy. Come ON!

Even if the guy's name was Travisty, he maybe should've taken a hint from the Oneders (meant to be pronounced "wonders" but more often than not, it was "oh-NEE-ders") and changed it.

Spelling things wrong in the name of coolness is a shaky idea at best. It works best when it's badly enough spelled that people get that it's on purpose (e.g. "Motley Crüe") or the target market is dumb and they won't notice anyway (e.g. "Canibus").

Travisty doesn't really fit either way. But, hey, whatever.

yeah, mispelling "beetles" sure did sink that one band's career.
