Group members

In reviewing their first Pots And Shots , Allmusic wrote that Potshot "put the spurs to the largely kind-of-boring mid-'90s resurgence of ska music by revving up the tempos by at least 30 percent and dialing back all the cod-reggae Jamaican-isms that make so many of the frat-boy third wave ska bands so laughable. The drumbeat and a familiar-sounding horn section are Pots and Shots' only links to ska music, but they're enough to shred 90 percent of the post-No Doubt pretenders."
Pots And Shots includes a cover version of Tears of a Clown and Since Yesterday.
