Ska

[johnnyrad]

Since I see that most of you people are still stuck on New Found Glory and shit like that, I might as well throw the question out. Who hear digs ska? I sure as hell do. Maybe there are a few of you out there who don't listen to complete shit. Peace.

[korndawg86]

Ive never listened to them. What are they like?

[Impossible]

My favorite ska bands are:
(I may update this periodically)
Catch 22
Reel Big Fish
Mustard Plug
Big D and the Kids Table
Less Than Jake
Mighty Mighty Bosstones
The Specials
The Skatalites
Metaskafilies
The Toasters
The Mad Caddies

and much more, but I can't think about all that many right now and i have to leave, the bell's about to ring...

And of course my band, Bombing Cooper. Check us out at bombingcooper.te

[robert11]

dave, you misspelled the site. its www.bombingcooper.tk , but iys noy up yet. some of my favorite ska bands (and i know some have already been mentioned):



the mighty mighy bosstones
first ska band i ever heard. my firend gave me one of their CDs for my 10th birthday, and ive liked the bosstones and ska ever since.

bim skala bim

hepcat

the pietasters
one of the best current ska bands

less than jake
had some great older stuff. i dont much care for their new stuff

the specials
one of the most influential second wave ska bands

the pilfers

mephiskaphalese
this is the correct spelling, not davids shitty spelling.
mephiskaphelese has some of the best calling ive ever heard

big d and the kids table
another great current ska band

the toasters
you may have heard them and not known it. they did some songs for the nikelodeon show Kablam a while back

the skatalites
they were the first recorded ska band ever, but still stand up to todays standards to be regarded as one of the best ska bands in the world

bob marley and the wailers
they did some really good ska near the beginning of their carrers

fishbone
they are a ska/kinda gospel band (which i normally wouldnt like but they pull it off). this band really has their shit together.

too short notice
a local band, but o thought i would throw them in here cause they are really good. saw em live a few months ago, and it was one of the best shows ive ever been to

the slackers
a great current NYC ska band[/b]

catch 22
just great stuff

mustard plug
a really good current ska band

sublime
has a few ska songs

madness
crazy good second have ska band

rx bandits

me first and the gimmie gimmies

the hippos
a pretty good punk/sksa band

reel big fish
a lot of people dismiss these guys cause they get more coverage than some of the more underground ska bands, but they really are awesome.

the mad caddies

the blue meanies

redwood school districs
another local ska band

bombing cooper
in my opinion, the best band ever. and that isnt influenced by the fact that im in it. www.bombingcooper.tk aint up yet.


i think thats enough to start with. maybe ill post some more bands later, but i just got back from the eye doctor and she out some drops in my eyes to dialate them and now i cant see right.

[Flip Boy]

He's actually quite helpful.. don't cuss me and i won't u ok?

[robiskewl]

ahhh THE SLACKERS!!!! they're awesome. when they came around to worcestor in like september of last year i got on stage with my friend, and then everyone rushed the stage. Big D is awesome. i might be seeing them next week in providence. RBF, kicks ***.

[Craig Himself]

Catch 22 , i have and lyke , less than jake same and reel big fish and a few others there

[shamoncowboy]

i like ska, especially two tone and other older stuff, the mix between punk and ska was the best idea ever, im too lazy to name my favorite ska bands, so **** you

[TwiztidSkater15]

less than jake is the only band i listen to. im not toomuch for ska. woo hoo.

WHAT???????????????!!!!! sublime was awesome! and still is!!! there is no "ewwwie" needed.

[TwiztidSkater15]

well im sorry but i dont lyke them.

[robert11]

who do you listen to? oh yeah, avril. enough said.

[TwiztidSkater15]

oh shut up already. who cares if i listen to her? oh wait you.

[johnnyrad]

Ya, what is with you and avril? Can't you see that all her music is prefabricated and just plain shitty? She was a skater boy? What the **** is up with that song? She doesn't know thing one about skating or the punk community yet she tries to insert herself into that community to catch an audience that feels that rebelling is the "cool thing to do", yet they are falling right into the system that has created this space just for this reason. Therefor, they are not rebelling, they are conforming and proving just wat brainless sheeo they really are. You, you are the key demographic that they search for, and you are only supporting them, in trade for a sense of power, they feeling of "rebelling", but wake up and smell the concrete shithead, you are a conformist, helping support a sellout. Congratulations.

O ya, how could I have forgotten the pietasters or bim skalla bin or the slackers or too short notice and redwood school district for that matter? Geez.

[robert11]

i forgot um, that band....david, whats their name? they have that shit quality CD that i gave you and its like awesome ska and then some hard punk shit??? um....ill think of it sometime..........uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, dude, dave help me out on this one...

[chickaboarder13]

SLAPSTICK!!!


i remembered

[johnnyrad]

BNL?

[chickaboarder13]

some of their songs Grade 9 as i was stating...

[Impossible]

bare naked ladies

[johnnyrad]

who are they?

[robert11]

they are NOT ska

[chickaboarder13]

have u ever heard the grade nine song? *sigh* but they also do have other genre's of songs like one week which is a kick *** song i think.

[robert11]

do dey have da horns?????

[Craig Himself]

BNL anrt ska , but one week is funny

[chickaboarder13]

yes... but the 'grade nine' song has a ska twist to it.. but i do'nt think there is ne horns.. maybe not haha

[robert11]

so, they arent ska. you are stupid.

[chickaboarder13]

yep sure sounds good

[robiskewl]

right ska chords without horns isnt ska....when you say "the gimmie gmiies" are you referring to Me First and The Gimmie Gimmies? cause they arent ska. they're a cover band. and might cover some ska songs but they arent ska.

[johnnyrad]

there is a such thing as softcore ska. but i don't reaally consider it ska.

[robert11]

well, i think if softcore has horns its ska.

[johnnyrad]

ya, but some doesn't and its still cl***ified as ska, like the band animal chin for example (the group, not the guy), they have GREAT ska guitar but no horns and I think of them as softcore ska.

[robert11]

but its not ska. no horns = not ska. they are ska influenced in my opinion, but not ska.

[shamoncowboy]

i dont know i dont think you really need to have horns, maybe technically you do, i dunno, but like the one rancid cd has some ska like songs on, like hooligans and such

[shamoncowboy]

everything got closed, im bored now

[JimBeam]

talkin bout ska the new less than jake album is out!!!

[johnnyrad]

the new less than jake is shit

[TwiztidSkater15]

i havent heard their new stuff yet.

[robert11]

its shit. it started being shit after that CD with the guy diving into the pool. what was it called? that was their last good one, and even that was questionable.

[johnnyrad]

Hello Rockview, I personally liked that album, but only some of it

[moon monkey]

so you like ska and shit? yeah they suck man, their horrible. ***chin sucks, so i have heard.

[johnnyrad]

you sir, are a fool magoo. you obviously don't know what your talking about when you say "they suck". ska is not a group of music but a genre of music, and i know you were trying to be original, but that was straight out of cky, what you said. And no animal chin doesnt suck, anyone who tells you that is a fudge smuggler

[johnnyrad]

who knows of some good ska bands that i may not have heard of? i am on ska overload right now and i need some new stuff.

[robert11]

i do.

[robiskewl]

zox? the planet smashers? i dunno if you're gunna find much the two, cause they are kinda providence locals. but if you look on their websites they probably have mp3's or something of that nature

[robert11]

dave, you know that i know all the greatest bands.

[johnnyrad]

nice, ill check em out

[johnnyrad]

zox kicks ***, they sound mad second wavish, thanks dude, hang loose

[johnnyrad]

Wait, do they even have horns?
