Guest scott cs. Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 i like lots of ska/reggae/dub. if your into original ska get the Rough & Tough: The Story of Jamican Ska 1960-66 put out by Trojan Records. Ross lent me it, and its really good.i could go into a tonne of bands i like and bands you should check out, but it would be boring go this this site instead - http://www.theska.co.uk/ plenty news and links and the like.

Paranoid Android Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 the specials are great, ska punk or whatever is crap (apart from the rx bandits and pezcore by ltj.). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metarie Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Yay ska! It's the perfect antidote to Emo-ness. My only problem with it is the fact that *no-one* can skank without looking like a twat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Start Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 All Ska is brilliant...If you're into stuff like less than jake/reel big fish etc., but are getting slightly bored and want something new then check out:Big D & The Kids Table and Streetlight Manifesto to start off with, they will reconfirm your love for 3rd wave ska.. I here St. Light are playing Glasgow in April?On the topic of the local ska scene Kevin, I'm in the Upstarts and we're back after a long break hoping to get back into the live music scene again now that we all live in Aberdeen. If you've heard us before, we have changed a lot since then, we're playing Kef this Fri supporting whitmore if you want to check us out.Cheers, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People should def check them out. I always thought Street Light Manifesto would be shit cos their on victory records but i see their touring with mu330 and voodoo glow skulls so perhaps i should check them out.For all you people that like ska, make sure you get yourselves to Moorings Bar on 16th April for a top ska punk band, all the way from Lithuania called Dr Green! Should be amazing. More ska will be at moorings on 2nd July as we bring you Howard Alias and Sonic Boom Six (plus Vanilla Pod...holy shit, all on the same line-up...for only 6?!)
