 CMT.com : Rx Bandits : Biography
Most of this was due to Embree, whose songwriting continued to evolve in a more progressive direction even as RX Bandits grew to its eventual complement of six.
After generating a strong buzz in the Anaheim area, the Bandits signed with SoCal punk-pop powerhouse Drive Thru and issued their official debut in 1999.
With July 2003's Resignation (issued through Drive-Thru's upstream agreement with MCA), RX Bandits took their progressive sound to another level entirely, excising much of the ska in favor of moodier reggae and raw, near post-hardcore screeds.

 Rx Bandits: Progress - PopMatters Music Review
If it were possible, the Rx Bandits would probably also be touring with Sublime, as most of their songs sound just like Brad Nowell and Co. They even have a knack for singing topical tunes, kind of like Sublime had when they recorded "Wrong Way" off their self-titled final album.
Still, the band does rock away no matter what the "message" (and there are plenty of them packed into the 15 songs here), allowing the listener to both shake his or her respective asses and take a few sociological notes along the way.
At least more so than all the hype would have you believe that is scrawled on the back of their promo disc ("it's their composite effect of punk, ska, reggae, and hardcore that makes this a stunning leap forward").

 Lollipop Issue 56 mp3 Compilation CD: Rx Bandits
There are bands that find a sound that works and stick to it like it's their religion, and then there are bands that only use that sound as a foundation, a launching pad into greater things.
With a title like Progress, there is little doubt about which type of band Rx Bandits aspire to be on their third album for DriveThru Records.
Progress not only reflects eclectic musical tastes, but reveals the Budding social consciousness of a band that's fed up with a culture of apathy and thoughtlessness.

This band can't decide if they want to be called the Rx Bandits or the Pharmaceutical Bandits -- both names are even on the CD -- but I wouldn't care if they called themselves the BMX Bandits, as long as the record's good.
And it is! Halfway Between Here and There is loaded with little pop-punky ska gems that should appeal to fans of Less Than Jake or Slow Gherkin, the latter especially -- tracks like "Wrong With Me" and "Andrea" wouldn't have sounded out of place on the Gherkin's last record.
While the Bandits aren't quite at the level of those auspicious bands, they make up for it in enthusiasm and variety -- unlike your standard LTJ record, you'll find plenty of material here that's designed for actual dancing, rather than pogo and pit action.
