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!

[MagMan5446]

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"

[Flamebo]

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

[TheTramp]

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"

[Dogbone]

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".

[mykroft]

Ska is a kinda Punk/reggae cross with a horn section, If you've heard No Doubt, that's commercialized Ska. I'm not a big fan myself, but the Salsds rock.

i cant express to you how much i hate Ska And Punk~~!!


PanTera!!!!! all the way!

[kman32]

Oh, Thanks for that! but I do think that im asking for Ska bands, not put downs!

[bofh]

Put me down as a second for The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. One of the Best Ska bands around...

And while you're at it, check out the Warped Tour... it's got the name Warp in it, and that's some kind of paintball product, I hear http://www.automags.org/ubb/smile.gif So it's got to be good.

And you ain't ever to old for Ska, except when you go to Warped tour at the Stone Pony, and the ticket takers/bouncers don't pat you down, because they think you're a narc... Maybe then...

[SkApAiNtMaG]

Less than Jake is good. Mighty Mighty Bosstones Good. MXPX good.(but more punky) Sum 41 is good but punkyer. my 2 cents

[mikey101]

Most of my friends went to the warp tour this year, I didn't get to go though http://www.automags.org/ubb/frown.gif oh well. Next year i'll be there, and its gonna be awesome!

punk bands suck. every time i hear them they just piss me off. it is not even music to me. they always sing in that high voice crap. listen to some better stuff.

[kman32]

First of all, he said SKA. Second of all, the majority of punk bands do not sing in high voices often, if ever. Newsflash: Blink 182 is NOT punk, so don't be so quick to comment when you're uninformed.

[mikey101]

Yama - Thanks for letting me know what I shouldn't be lestening to. If I were to ask "know of any good bands?" Then maybe this would be of some use, but other then that, its not.

[Yama]

then what is blink 182??? it sure isnt rock.

[Flamebo]

<font face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Originally posted by Yama:

Blink 182 is pop trash.

[MajorDamage]

Blink 182 is Pop Punk. And FIF Is ska, but their newer stuff is kinda a mix of alot of things.

ENDO!
