Grim Streaker - "Mojito"

You wouldn't think that a song about drinking too many mojitos while travelling to a cave in Cuba would be a great topic for a punk song. It sounds more like a Jimmy Buffet song, or something that a band opening for a Sublime cover band would sing about. But Brooklyn's Grim Streaker pull it off. "Mojito" is this noisy, aggressive punk song that somehow keeps enough of a pop sensibility to it to make it accessible. It's almost as if a band like Metz or Downtown Boys decided to have a hit song without watering down their sound or selling out. "Mojito" lives in the middle ground between Yeah Yeah Yeah's Fever to Tell and Show Your Bones.
