"Mustard Plug" is back to follow up "Evildoers Beware." "Pray For Mojo" features everything you know and love about "Mustard Plug" - the tounge-check wit, punk to skank, and ska infected horns. Their campy yet cool sound remains intact, and this record promises to be yet another gem in the crown of these punk princes on the rise.

Kicking off their wild ride through punk stardom in 1993, the band released "Big Daddy Multitude" on moon records. "Evil Doers Beware" followed in 1997 and things started picking up for the band. It would seem that the relentless touring for the last record, as Hopeless Records picked up the Plug, with the band selling through 60,000 copies of the record as well as popping up on various punk/ska compilations has gained them popularity. The radio was also digging the band's cover of the Verve Pipe's "Freshman," and M2 ate up the video release of the video "You."

"Pray For Mojo" may just be the record to put the Plug over the top. Make sure to check out "Not Giving In," "Throw A Bomb" and "Time Will Come." This is most definitely the summer's ska disc to get!!!!
