Can you recommend me some Ska music, please? :)

[SacredRaccoon]

Hello,

I'm starting to like the whole Ska-Punk music scene. I know and love already bands like Brain Failure, Rancid and Mighty Mighty Bosstones. Do you know other bands in this genre, which are really good and worth listening?

 

[Cridhe]

Sublime. Unless you wear a beret and glasses with super-thick frames and they're too mainstream for you.

 

[DazZ.]

Yes I can.

Reel Big Fish
Streetlight Manifesto
Catch 22
Mad Caddies
King Prawn
Capdown

I have many, many more recommendations if you like those.

 

[repeating integers]

Don't you want offtopic forum for this?

Anyway, Madness are apparently Ska. All I know is, they're awesome.

This wasn't really a gaming question. It's been moved to OT.

Thanks very much for the recommendations.

Some pretty good British ska bands are Sonic Boom Six, Random Hand and The King Blues.

Woah, someone beat me to recommending Sonic Boom Six?

Anyway, seeing as I was ninja'd to my first recommendation, I'll put Big D and the Kid's Table here:

Spoiler: Noise Complaint

Also check out The Naked Citizens [http://www.myspace.com/thenakedcitizens]. Only problem is that they're not that well-known so their music's a bit hard to come by.

Sublime. Unless you wear a beret and glasses with super-thick frames and they're too mainstream for you.

Have you heard Sublime with Rome yet? It's the two surviving members of Sublime with a new singer. I think they're pretty good but I've never gotten round to listening to the original band.

Yes sir and they're surprisingly as good as ever. The new singer can sound SO much like Bradley, it's kinda makes you think all the Toupac, Biggie and Elvis rumors could very well be false!

Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Im pretty sure they are ska.

edit: oh, you already listed the bosstones... oh well, its posted now

 

[EmzOLV]

Mad Caddies

MONKEYS!!!

I <3 ska-punk. Shame most of my recommendations have already been said. I particularly loved seeing Mighty Mighty Bosstones at Reading this year though.

I almost went off on one and started listing, but then I strayed from ska-punk to something completely different.

Ore Ska Band. They're Japanese, but a really fun and talented band that's exciting to listen to.

I assume you mean third-wave ska which is what most people tend to mean.
Anyhoo.

Skankin' Pickle is a personal favorite. Buck-O-Nine, Rx Bandits, Mu330 and Save Ferris haven't been mentioned yet I believe.
