well there is a thread for music somewhere in the general chat but maybe this should go in the music thread, theres a search button at the top ^_^
p.s Ska is okey |
I like ska, although I probably don't listen to it as much as I used to. Our local trendy Seattle music station tried to cash in on it's popularity and kind of ruined it for me. They had a SKAderday night (stupid play on Saturday Night) where they would play nothing but ska music for several hours straight, but all they played was Real Big Fish, No Doubt, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, and Sublime over and over again. They also had a announcement they played every commercial break explaining what ska is (they claim in an annoying voice "IT'S THAT PUNK ROCK THING!! WITH HORNS!!!") So pretty soon everyone was saying that they love ska.
Personally my favorite Ska bands are, Skankin Pickle (first ska band I saw live) Easy Big Fella (love them a lot live, they were at my first ska show too, havn't heard a lot of their recorded stuff) and Operation Ivy (if you count them as ska) and probably some more if I sat down and thought about it. I don't know why I dislike Mustard Plug so much, I bought one of their albums because I heard they where so great but i guess I was really disappointed more than anything. How about you? How would you answer your own questions? |
Ska Head since I was 12!!! One of my fave ska bands is Checkmate. J-Ska is pretty good also.

i is d king of the skank...but these days with the onslought of hardcore bands i'm starting to learn how mosh "hardXcore" but yeah i keep it real with the skanking...i mainly like british ska bands because the ones from the u.s are too punk (very few people realise the diff between punk n ska..fools) I just love how the brit bands keep it real with the thumping bass lines and the upstroke on the high strings....you guys shud check out
farse capdown headroom jessejames that is some gewd ska sheet.. oh yeah which do u use more when skanking...your arms and head or ur legs and arm....i'm in between realy |

|
This is one of the Japanese ska bands I listen tohttp://www.projectj.net/skapara.htm. They're pretty good
|
I have to agree with you, ska and punk pretty much go hand and hand in the states. Although Skankin Pickle was my favorite (they mixed ska/punk/metal/ and even 80's buttrock sometimes :heh: ) If you get get away from the punk mix my favorite is probably Hepcat (although their last album was terrible) Easy Big Fella or Let's go Bowling. Yeah, 3 moon ska bands but there are so many 3rd rate crap ska bands here (or there were 7 or 8 years ago when I was going to shows) that it was to frustrating looking for them. I'll have to check out the ones you mentioned, the only British band I can think of that I listen to is The Business, but their deffinatly not ska :heh:

homes...its all about the brittish ska..you need to get some farse in ya blood
|
Out of curiousity does anyone hear watch Read or Die TV? The ending song has ska music and I noticed that the song is by a girl named Kazami with Home Grown. There is a ska punk band that pretty much only plays punk now in America that is/was pretty popular called home grown, does anyone know if they are the same?
|

Don't worry I won't tell anyone :heh: . Personally I didn't detect any emo in the song I heard. Plus it's still possible they wrote the music to the song if they are on the same label (they're on a major label last I heard) , and especially if they are anime fans. |
Ska is soooo 1997...
Seems like a lot of the local ska bands that I knew have ditched their horns and switched to emo. |
