Ska?

[Limzz]

Streetlight is the best hands down imo. Sublime isn't really ska but they're ok. I would be careful with Reel Big Fish lol. They have a few good songs but most of their stuff is pretty meh. Whatever you do don't get the "Monkeys for Nothing..." album. The best song on it is a Phil Collins cover.

I like Skooma, personally...

I do believe you've won the thread.

Orly?
Cool story, bro!

Figured as much. All I know about the local stuff are like 3 or 4 bands. One of them is pretty awesome in fact. The Valkyrians. I really liked how they brought back the older style, 2nd wave mostly. The singer totally rips off Judge Dread though.

Checked through the box... burns are labelled shit like 'Finnish Skacore', 'Estonian Oi', 'ska-riachi' (which is a fucked up awesome blend of mariachi and ska) and so on.

As for ripping off Judge Dread... his style was taken mostly from Jamaican ska.

I meant his voice. Nowhere more obvious than their cover of Big 6.

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, close thread, move on, etc. .

Hell yeah!!

I was listening to them right now!

Reel Big Fish, of course, and this other little band called Suburban Legends. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvsRRUrY3ug&feature=related]

EDIT: Oh no, how could I have forgotten! There is a local ska band that I saw live called Filippenko [http://www.myspace.com/filippenko] that everyone needs to support because they're great... also, one of the guys goes to my school.

Personally, I like Five Iron Frenzy for my Ska fix, but sadly they split up in 2003.

Who did that "Going Underground" song? Was that ska?
If it is, then I reccomend them. If it isn't, then I guess I don't like ska.

 

[Tallim]

I personally like Goldfinger, Ore Ska Band and The Aquabats

As mentioned above by some people: madness was very good. Rancid also made some very good ska songs so did Nofx, don't know any real ska bands except for Madness though.

I love me a bit of 3rd wave/ska-punk. I did make a usergroup for ska fans, but there's about 6 members if I remember rightly.

The stuff I listen to:

Streetlight Manifesto (and all other Tomas Kalnoky bands), Catch 22 (including post-Kalnoky), Less Than Jake, Mustard Plug, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Reel Big Fish, Big D & The Kids Table and Random Hand.
