Earlier it was announced that SoCal ska band Reel Big Fish was going to be releasing their first new album since 2007 on August 28, 2012 called Candy Coated Fury.  Now the band has posted the first song from that album called “I Know You Too Well To Like You Anymore.”

Reel Big Fish have posted this album teaser for their upcoming full-length album Candy Coated Fury.  As you can tell from this 4 minute preview, the band seem to be back to what it does best; writing punchy and seemingly cheerful, yet deliciously dark pop-ska songs.  This is the band’s first full-length original album since 2007′s Monkeys for Nothin’ and the Chimps for Free.  It is also the band’s first album with new sax player Matt Appleton and WITHOUT former RBF mainstay Scott Klopfenstein.

Be sure to catch Reel Big Fish when the Summer Of Ska tour rolls through Minneapolis on July 11th at First Avenue!
