No Self Control is the fourth full-length release from The Planet Smashers. This album has spawned many fan favorites, including "Blind" and "SK8 or Die". This is only the second album by The Planet Smashers (and first since their self-titled debut) where the album isn't named after its opening track: "No Self Control" is the second track.

The Planet Smashers band

The Planet Smashers are a Canadian ska punk band from Montreal. Since their formation in 1994, they have been a staple of the Montreal music scene. During the third wave of ska, they performed nationally and later internationally, with tours in the United States, Europe, and Japan. Founding member Matt Collyer helped establish Stomp Records in 1994, which featured many ska and ska punk bands, including Montreal's The Kingpins, The Flatliners, The Know How, and Bedouin Soundclash. Their music has been used in the Japanese flash series Catman, Canadian show Radio Free Roscoe, and MTV's Undergrads. Lyrics by The Planet Smashers often deal with topics such as love, partying and good times, and sometimes use tongue-in-cheek innuendo.
