[1] In reviewing their first album, Pots And Shots (1997), AllMusic wrote that Potshot "put the spurs to the largely kind-of-boring mid-'90s resurgence of ska music by revving up the tempos by at least 30 percent (seriously, anyone who tries dancing to a song like the breakneck "Since Yesterday" is at risk of a coronary) and dialing back all the cod-reggae Jamaican-isms that make so many of the frat-boy third wave ska bands so laughable.
The drumbeat and a familiar-sounding horn section are Pots and Shots' only links to ska music, but they're enough to shred 90 percent of the post-No Doubt pretenders.
"[2] Pots And Shots included cover versions of "The Tears of a Clown" and "Since Yesterday".
Coconuts Pine and Free Kick recorded two Potshot songs each.
It was released on 33rpm 7" (1138 Records, 1138-0036), some copies on red vinyl and some on green.
