	The Aquabats - Nitro Records!
		Except for the time when The Aquabats stormed the offices of Geffen Records, fully costumed (rubber helmets, masks, and matching rash guards with the letter ‘A’ emblazoned across their chests) armed with a copy of their first demos, demanding to see David Geffen.
		Every show expanded Aquabat mythology and instead of treating fans as passive participants, they were encouraged to be a part of the show.
		While The Aquabats’ genesis occurred during the Orange County Ska explosion of the mid ‘90s, they never set out to be a ‘ska’ band (they barely set out to be a band), rather they pulled from early ‘80s influences such as Devo, Oingo Boingo, and early L.A. punk bands.

		Aquabats also have slim air bladders beneath their skin, which help them float, or sink, depending on to what degree they are inflated.
		Young aquabats sometimes leave their birth pack to join a mate in theirs, but the more common scenario is for two young aquabats to meet, mate, and then move on, with the female and her pack raising the young.
		Some aquabats are more monogamous, and more likely to switch packs, while others are quite polygamous, and against committment to a mate and his or her pack.

		This dvd is a great purchase for any fan of the Aquabats, and one of the better band based dvd's on the market.
		The features of the set include 2 discs complete with an entire live show recorded in 2003, some videos, the history of the aquabats and another disc conatining random live clips from over the years including the odd clip of the days when Blink-182's Travis Barker was in the band.
		So if you love the Aquabats then there is no reason you should not own this dvd and if you don't love them then I am afraid there is nothing here to change your mind.

	Splendid: Departments: A Very Long Short Talk with The Aquabats
		But the Aquabats are not like other rock bands, as their fans, The Cadets, will gladly tell you.
		The Aquabats are part vaudeville stagecraft, part hyped up ska/punk/new wave band and part cartoon superheroes.
		Crash filled me in on some of the myths and stories that surround the Aquabats, as well as clarifying the point that Yanni is, in fact, evil.

		The Aquabats are always ready to save us from the malicious space monster M and brighten our mediocre lives with the power of totally awesome musical vibes!
		The fury of the Aquabats is easily their best album and has all their signature tracks.
		The Aquabats are such an enjoyable band and we are likely to never seen on like them ever again.

		None of their songs have a really serious point, but its easy and fun to sing along to, which is the point of all of the aquabats songs.
		If the public isnt ready for a band as good as the aquabats, and if the aquabats dont care about how famous they are then it might be for the better.
		Simply put, in retrospect, this video represents the true aspects of why the band "the Aquabats" sucks total balls and will never go anywhere except bakc home to there mothers houss where they are bound to live for all eternity.

		In the same way that their mentors Devo and Oingo Boingo had been pigeonholed into new wave, the Aquabats were clearly outcasts in Rudeboy land.
		The above comparison to Oingo Boingo is not far-fetched, considering the Aquabats' conscientious use of horns, synths and outlandish vocal tricks.
		Track after track, the Aquabats push the creative envelope, constantly outdoing themselves in the realms of complex production and arrangement, to say nothing of impressive virtuoso performances all around.

		Contrary to popular belief, The Aquabats did not die out with the ska movement of the late '90s.
		Adorning themselves in costumes that consist of rash guards, board shorts, and anti-negativity helmets (among a various other assortment of props), The Aquabats are humanity's answer to the dark forces that permeate the Earth.
		I got the grand opportunity to sit down, relax, and enjoy some laughs with The Aquabats frontman The MC Bat Commander and guitarist Prince Adam before their show at the Glasshouse in Pomona on August 8th, 2003.

		While the band's second release, 1997's The Fury of the Aquabats garnered decent sales (again, thanks to that year's ska revival), their debut album, Return of the Aquabats, has been largely ignored many more casual fans of the band, and can be a tough find at record stores.
		For those who might be wondering exactly what the Aquabats deal is, they basically dress up as superheroes and defend 'the kids' from various evil doers and monsters.
		On Aquabat March, the keyboards especially remind me of something Devo-esque, while much of the ridiculous CD Repo Man is a mishmashing of the Aquabats upbeat ska style with Devo's new wave tones.

		The Aquabats: Our band got sucked into a twister....and that's right, every experience on the road is deadly and dangerous for The Aquabats, but we make it through to the other side, for the kids.
		The Aquabats: We'll...start out in the morning with lots of sugar, it gives you that quick energy, and then you grab your rock 'n roll guitar, table, or pot and pan...whatever you want to rock on that day...it's all about the energy, and just play.

		As the Aquabats frontman, MC Bat Commander wears a stretchy blue superhero costume and battles the likes of Space Monster M all in the name of fun.
		At any given Aquabats show fans will see snippets of retro skateboard movies, Saturday morning cartoons and pop culture commercials projected on a big screen behind the band (which at one point was 14 members strong) as they sing about everything from magic chickens to Martian girls.
		After the Aquabats wrote the song 'Playdoh,' which is about losing all my toys mysteriously, my mom copped to it and bought me some old figures as a 'sorry about that' gesture.

		The Aquabats VS. the Floating Eye of Death is one of the greatest albums i have ever bought.
		The Aquabats are my favorite band of all time and this is my favorite album by them.
		The horns are still their never the less, but they take a back seat to the vocals, the keyboard and the guitars.

		The Aquabats are hilarious, have awesome riffs, lyrics, and overall tone.
		Im not the greatest fan of the Aquabats, i knew 5 or 6 old songs and they were pretty good.
		The 2005 release of the Aquabats' charge is a creative, catchy, and solid album for the quintet.

	Harmonium » Archive » The Aquabats - Charge!!
		While The Aquabats’ other albums are no doubt fun and entertaining, I feel that their latest release has been a step in the right direction if their goal is to attract a wider audience.
		The Aquabats have truly found a niche of their own by creating a much more lyrical sound in a guitar-based setting – compete with some really great and memorable riffs.
		The Aquabats aren’t out to reinvent rock and roll (or punk or ska music, for that matter), nor are they attempting to inundate their audience with weighty lyrics and intense studio production.

	The Aquabats - . . . Vs. the Floating Eye of Death Review - sputnikmusic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The Aquabats take nothing seriously, and this - the traditional "silly love song" of the album, is intentionally over-sappy, seeming almost to mimic the overly-happy mood of 50s love songs.
		Actually a slower version of a song originally written years ago by the band (see "The Wild Sea" on the Aquabats B-Sides album "Myths and Legends" for the original version), the song is a departure for The Aquabats.
		This may be the strangest The Aquabats song ever - I still give the edge to "Lobster Bucket" from The Fury of the Aquabats, but, really, "Tiny Pants" is quite strange.

		The Aquabats are back with another rad release after six years without a full-length.
		"Tiger Rider vs. The Time Sprinkler!" with its synth at the beginning and guitar solo in the middle is the kind of wacky classic Aquabat song that fans have come to know and love with its crazy imagery and horse neigh at the end.
		The Aquabats have done it again, even it if a little different from previous releases.

		Well there's also a Tour Diary from The Aquabats' West Coast Tangy Heat Wave Tour which features footage of things such as band member Prince Adam firing an uzi and a mysterious drunk man singing.
		And if that wasn't enough, the band has announced that from midnight tonight to 8 AM tomorrow you'll be able to download demos of their new songs "Mechanical Ape", "Yo, Check This" and "Awesome Forces" at their official web site.

		The Aquabats: Serious Awesomeness features a history-spanning live concert as well as all of the band's music videos, a variety of performance clips representing the band's many line-ups, all manner of backstage goofing off, and TV stuff that must be seen to be believed.
		I once heard the Aquabats described as a combination of DEVO and the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

	Glorious Noise - The Aquabats - Charge!!
		They’ve reduced the ska by about 20% while boosting the rock, trimmed just a tiny bit of wacky off, and (wisely) kept the psychotronic levels exactly the same.
		The songs are classic, off-center Aquabats, odes to doomed beach romances, giant robot apes, and of course, anthems to their own awesomeness.
		I find that "The Fury of The Aquabats" is much better than "Charge!" Just my opinion..

	Aquabats - Charge! Review
		This is nerdy math rock for those pining away for the days when Danny Elfman wrote rock music, not soundtracks.
		They must be out there: the members of the Aquabats certainly found in each other musicians dedicated to reminding folks of the glory days of dorky early 1980's LA herky-quirkiness.
		The Aquabats started out as a 14 piece ska band, but seem to have lost the lessons learned in that hardcore, rhythm-heavy genre.

	Denver - Music - The Aquabats - westword.com
		The Aquabats are geeks who are so geeky they're cool -- and not poser-geek cool, either.
		And the members of the Aquabats are unafraid to lead the nerd herd.
		Pared down to a trim six members from an all-time high of fourteen, the act plays a loopy, SoCal ska punk, an unapologetically feral shout-out to dweebs who like to rock.
