In this take on the “all the bands you like dress up as other bands you like,” we see Destroy Babylon ingeniously covering the entire soundtrack of the 1972 reggae classic The Harder They Come (starring Jimmy Cliff). In the movie, Cliff moves to the big capitol city in Jamaica (it’s Kingston, you geography dropout) to try to break into the music industry. He doesn’t, and then commits a bunch of crimes (typical). Also, the Fat Mikes will be there doing their amazeballs NOFX covers. Punk and reggae are BFFs, after all.
They tweet each other inside jokes and make ska jealous.
