To some extent it's written like poppy ska-punk music, but it's played by a fairly large acoustic ensemble that transforms the material into a gorgeous big band/classical/latin/gypsy hybrid. My only complaint is that this is all they've ever released.

My favorite track:
I love this EP the most out of everything Tomas Kalnoky has done, I just wish they had released more material. There was suppose to be this "99 Songs of Revolution" thing but as far as I can tell it hasn't come to anything besides an Streetlight Manifesto cover album.
