4.0 out of 5 stars Rockaway is a solid effort from this ska band from NJ, September 22, 2002

By	Jeremy E Bronn (Valparaiso, IN USA) - See all my reviews

This cd really is a great one for any fan of ska. The band features a tenor sax and a trumpet as the only horn players, but the rest of the band complements them well. The songs are very catchy, especially track 4. The only complaint I have is that the cd is a little short. It really makes we want to buy their second release, "Overexposed", but it is hard to find and currently out of stock here. They play an awesome live show--I saw them this summer with Slick Shoes and Less than Jake, and they get really into their music. If you've never heard of Face First, this cd gives you a nice taste of the energy that they put into their style of ska.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing CD, August 18, 2002

By	Jessica Roark "Plum Addict" (London, KY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is by far the best CD face first has put out yet! The lyrics are incredable and the music is very intricate and detailed. This amazing combination of up beat ska and hard core punk will just totally rock your world and change the way you look at music forever!

5.0 out of 5 stars ONE OF THE GREAT LOSSES IN MUSIC HISTORY, August 7, 2003

By	J. Profe "odin820" (NJ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Face First was the best ska band most people never heard of! They had everything it would take to be the next LTJ and in my opinion that means alot. They had credibility, content and mass appeal. Its a shame they couldn't hold it together longer. they have apparently regrouped into the decidedly more punk (and less ska) Houston Calls. I just feel that they lost something great with the conversion.
