Close Enough for Ska is the first full-length release by I Voted for Kodos.

The title refers to a phrase the band typically used while they were tuning up before shows: "We can never quite get in tune or do the songs completely right every time so we often end up saying that the sound isn't perfect but that's close enough for ska," drummer Paul Renke said in an interview. This itself is a reference to the well-known phrase "close enough for jazz."
