Jaya The Cat - Fake Carreras

Jaya The Cat is a Dutch/American reggae/ska/punk rock band originating from Boston, Massachusetts, but currently based in Amsterdam. The band formed in 1998 and has released four full-length studio albums, one independent release and one live album. The name of the band is speculated to come from the fact they had a cat named Jaya which they drove in their van when going to gigs. 

Fake Carreras is actually about doing drugs in Escobar, Holland but it is a really uplifting song. Hearing it live though you can't help but have a dance, a sing and a smile along with these reggae punks. The lyrics "when things get fucked up, that's when I'm happiest" and "I'm sweating and I'm shaking but I'm smiling cause I know it's gonna be okay" are really positive and uplifting. Probably something that is needed at the moment.
