During Five Iron Frenzy’s years of existence, ska has gone in and out of style (and given the success of the No Doubt single “Hey Baby,” it may be on the rise again). But the band has stayed steadily on course, developing a tight, exciting variation on the style. The membership’s Christian beliefs sometimes surface overtly, as on “Far, Far Away,” but tunes like “Pre-Ex-Girlfriend” (“She said she hated Kenny G/That girl is way too good for me”) will hit the pleasure spot for listeners of every stripe.
