Austerity Brighton, UK
Austerity are a three-piece post-punk band from Brighton (UK)

Ska Punk as good as it gets. Other bands would benefit from taking notes. Culture Shock is relevant as always with the contemporary lyrics, and the music will force you to nod in rhythm whether you want to or not.
