Reel Big Fish, another amazing ska punk band

Reel Big Fish is an American ska punk band from Huntington Beach, California, best known for the 1997 hit "Sell Out." The band gained mainstream recognition in the mid-to-late 1990s, during the third wave of ska with the release of the album Turn the Radio Off. Founding member Aaron Barrett has been with the band since 1992, and horn players Dan Regan and Scott Klopfenstein have been involved with the band for more than 14 years.

Early success (1992-1999)

The band's debut album, Everything Sucks, was successful and resulted in a deal with Mojo Records. The album Turn the Radio Off appealed to fans of ska punk style, and the band began touring throughout the United States. After the single "Sell Out" became well-known in mainstream venues, including MTV, the album scored on the charts. However, the ska revival was short-lived, and their 1998 album Why Do They Rock So Hard? was not popular. During 1998, the band appeared in the movie Basketball, performing in the stands to rouse the crowd. The band also collaborated on the soundtrack with a cover of a-ha's "Take on Me". Why Do They Rock So Hard? was the last album for three members of the band. Trombonist Grant Barry and trumpet player Tavis Werts were fired^[1]. Drummer Andrew Gonzales left the team to spend more time with his family. Reel Big Fish then had a changing cast of drummers and trumpeters over the next six years.
