It's been way too long coming, but here is one of our newest songs at long last! Hurricanes & Tidal Waves expresses the view that the West Coast isn't all it's cracked up to be, and Midwest weather is preferable. This is one of our most typically 'Ska' songs to date.

For this song, as well as El Queso Grande, which is uploaded elsewhere (myspace.com/themulligans ), we decided to skip the recording studio garbage and do it all ourselves. So this is recorded in our drummer's basement and, painstakingly over the course of a couple of months, edited mixed and mastered by yours truly. I am an amateur, but I think it came out well, and the guys agree. So tell us what you think! Leave a review, write us a message, whatever you like. We only ask that if you are going to shoot the song down, you give us a clear reason or some type of specific criticism. Newgrounds has been a great help thus far in improving our sound because or your reviews, and we want to keep on getting better!

"Dang"

True it doesn't have some qualities of a professional band...but that is in a studio, with other professionals doing other things to make them sound better.
This has a great sound to my ears, almost like a life performance to my ear...I like it. Keep up the awesome work and awesome everything else.

If you think this sounds live, you should hear our live performance. It sounds like a studio recording! :P

"Aw,independent ska..."

date: October 13, 2009

After only listening to Reel Big Fish,it feels good to listen to something different.
Sure,it doesnt have the audio quality,or the good singing (no offense) of a professional band,but you are the band that introduced me to ska,and I can't stop thanking you.

"Awesome!!"

date: October 6, 2009

This is a really fun band; great musicianship, awesome personality. The "long ass response" I saw to an earlier review "cracked" me up haha!

This is the kind of band I wish I knew and played with. I used to play sax, but lost interest because I didn't have many peers who wanted to play as a group outside of school. I don't know if playing music for 7 years gives my review any weight, but I think this is a great band and great song.

I agree with the song, the Midwest has grown on me; it has variety at least. As soon as you get tired of the same routine, it changes on you, and that's what I love.

You, sir, are on the 'awesome fans' list. I know exactly what you mean about having no one to play with outside of school, and I thank my lucky stars that I was invited to play with the fine gentlemen who make up The Mulligans. Without this band, there is no way I'd still be playing trumpet four and a half years after graduating.

Also, plus 300 points for being a fellow Midwesterner.

As a side note, I am very surprised that 'Midwesterner' is an actual word.
