Last Wave Rockers is the debut album by the American ska punk band Common Rider, released in 1999.
Critical reception
The Chicago Sun-Times wrote that "Michaels delivers a solid set of tunes that varies the tempo from full-throttle ska-punk ('Castaways') to more laid-back skanking ('Signal Signal') ... the high points are pretty rewarding, and Michaels' voice is still an original one that's well worth hearing."
