ska!

[spike speigel]

Does any one here listen to any ska bands? If so, who do you listen to? What do you think of ska? I listen to a lot of ska bands, like Reel Big fish, Catch22, Face First, the Dissenters, and tons more. I really like ska music. The fast beat really rubs off on me. I would appreciate your questions, comments, or concerns.

I myself am okay with ska (plenty of songs I like), but I've got 2 friends that are pretty hardcore ska fans...

[Schrat]

[color=indigo]Mighty Mighty Bosstones rule over them all. That is all you really need to know about ska. :whoops:

I do listen to ska. One band you did not mention also is Mustard Plug. They are pretty good, as well.[/color]

mustard plug is pretty good, and so are the mighty mighty bosstones, but i don't think they rule. I think the best ska band is The impossibles, or slapstick. they're both great.

My favorite ska band is still the Voodoo Glow Skulls. I've not met anyone else who knows who they are, but they have been on quite a few of the bigger punk comps already.

They played in some town north of Chicago here... I forget who was that main act they were with, but it was kind of in the middle of nowhere and the crowd was too small to be any fun. Voodoo Glow Skulls were great though, and they had this guy dressed as some voodoo guy dancing around. Fun times.

Delinquent Song comes to mind as worth downloading :).

Voodoo glow skulls? Never heard of them. How are they?

[Guest Morph]

I really don't listen to SKA much but isn't punk and SKA basically the same thing?

Well I like Operation Ivy and Suicide Machines.

[FONT=arial][color=red] Japanese ska? cool! must go anf ind some now, *walks off and goes on wild search for some J-Ska :D [/color] [/FONT]

[spike speigel]

I have a cd of a bunch of different j-ska bands. It is really good. So is j-punk, but now back to topic.

To answer your question morph, ska and punk are basically the same thing except ska is more up beat and has trumpets, trombones, saxaphones, and other brass instruments in it.

[color=crimson][size=1] Ska is pretty cool. It's better than pop, that's for sure.[/color][/size]

[Guest Musahi]

[size=1]Well, if my memory serves me well than Sublime is ska. If so, than yes, I am listening to ska right now. :) The MIghty Mighty Bostones are alright, from what I have heard anyway. The only song I can recall is, "Ever had to Knock on Wood?" I guess, I'll need to look into Mustard PLug though, they sound alright.[/size]

[spike speigel]

Yeah, sublime is ska. I think they're great. Has anyone here heard of slapstick? They're really good bad, but they broke up.

[Cora Jane 2]

Well, two things. One Ska and Punk are similar, but as stated before, Ska has more brass. Brass and horns are required for ska, and that is what makes it so great.

Secondly, some good ska bands are 'The Insyderz', 'The O.C. Supertones', and 'Five Iron Frenzy' ('All The Hype That Your Money Can Buy' is an excellent CD). That's all that I can think of off hand. But I couldn't tell you a better ska CD to buy that Five Iron Frenzy.

Enjoy and remember Ska Music Rules!!

[spike speigel]

I just got the Slow Gherkin c.d. the other day. They're really good. I also got The Impossibles' new c.d., another great ska band.

[Cora Jane 2]

Really, I might have to check them out.

[Bing]

hmm...this is a big hmm...do you mean modern ska, because the bands you are mentionaing are not original ska. I am a big fan of modern ska, but original ska is something completley different. Original ska, is something of a blend of reggae and alot of brass and steel drums. It is a traditional west indian music, and it is very similar to Reggae. Modern ska is a more updated breed of ska, introducing electric guitars etc. Both are very good, but I thought I would let you know the roots of the band in this topic.

Oh yeah, and the kings of ska, are the amazing Engilsh band...[Spunge] :p

[spike speigel]

These guys are modern ska, alright.

[size=1] [FONT=century gothic] [color=crimson] The Ever had to knock on wood song is called, from my recollection, The impression that i get. It's on the Digimon soundtrack :D that is pretty cool. Also, Sublime is ska, so I guess you are (or were) listening to some cool ska.

My favorite ska bands are Sublime, Mustard Plug, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones and the guys who did the ska tetris theme which was really funny! [/size] [/FONT] [/color]
