OT: SKA fans

The Aggrolites are probably the closest modern band to first wave ska music. I guess they're technically reggae.

Great thread.

I'm being introduced to a lot of bands I never heard of!

It's a ska jam. Sublime was a blend of rap,rock,punk, reggae and ska. One of a kind band!


Go Canes!!

Exactly. They mixed all forms to create their music. Their early albums were more punk/ska and really good.

Ska was interesting as a genre because it basically reached its apex and then was over immediately. Much like its hardcore punk progenitors, there was little room for growth musically and therefore was short-lived. Nobody really emerged from it with a sustainable career (as in, receiving regular major-media play), and I wonder if that would be different if Brad Nowell didn't die or if Gwen Stefani didn't try to be Madonna.

I'm surprised at no mention of Goldfinger or No Doubt before Gwen Stefani became a massive sellout. Such a shame, she absolutely crushed it on Saw Red.

She helped write that song with Bradley Nowell.


Go Canes!!!!!

Punk with horns - sounds like Madness. Is that ska?

Some folks consider Madness a ska band. I always thought of them more of a new wave band though.

Go Canes!!!!

Check out Tim Armstrong’s first solo album “Poet’s Life” it’s pretty much a Tim and the Aggrolites reggae album. One of my all time favorites.

I hesitated to put this up here, because this particular Ska Punk band hails from Gaynesville, but they also have songs about leaving ****ry g-ville, so fvck it...

St. Cloud proud!! These cats have been playing together for a very long time now. They're an extremely talented and diverse band that blends rock. Reggae and punk. I wouldn't call them a ska band but I'm sure if they wanted to put out some ska music. They could pull it off with ease.

Go Canes!!!!!

Crazy is right. Are you from Miami Beach? I was born and raised on Miami Beach. Grew up on Commerce St. We had the best of everything growing up on South Beach.

Go Canes!!!

Do bands still play Ska? I was just thinking about that randomly in the shower recently.

There is still amazing Ska coming out , just a lot less of it .
