know of any good ska bands?

[mikey101]

I know there's already a thread for songs to download, but no one mentioned any ska bands. So if you know of any(preferably the more unknown bands) let me know! I have a lot of bands already in my collection, but can't find anymore. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure I mentioned Sublime and Long Beach Dub All Stars. Wait....I know that I did! Check my post out in the download thread.

Don't forget " Let's Go Bowling"

Try the Stubborn All Stars, Goldfinger, and of course Operation Ivy.

Conehead Buddha! A great band from the New York/Boston area. S.W.M. is their best song as far as I'm concerned.

I don't listen to much Christian music, but I have heard FIF before. I don't think they qualify as "ska"

Okay, I'm old. What is "ska"?

[Flamebo]

Last I checked Deskmond Dekker was the self-proclaimed King of Ska, and he's old. So it's not that you don't know ska because you're old, it's that you're just out of the loop.

[Dogbone]

Maybe, but that still doesn't answer my question does it?


Nevermind, I've already found out for myself what ska is.

Thanks Mykroft. That goes along with what I've found. I learned that a lot of music that I'd thought of as reggae, old school punk and even jazz is considerd "ska".
