After winning first place in the Independent band Competition at the Wherehouse (Bartlesville OK), these boys - each named after a particular Ivy League school - continue with their brand of modern ska. Horns are high and striking, and guitars are well played, with plenty of punk rock attitude and distortion. The only big problem is that the sonics tend to drop out at times, relegating the guitars, for instance, to the far background. This did nothing, however, to diminish the band's energy level (which could probably bite right through any production problem). More like Five Iron than the Supertones, The Ivy League are poised to be the next big ska band.
