Darth Vato is like that guy who shows up at your party, pisses off the popular kids, replaces your precious party mix with a Black Flag record, and sets up camp around the keg. Throwing down a mix of reggae, ska and old skool punk, Darth Vato is coming to your town. You'd better buy another case after all.
