Ska what ska. i dont think there has been a real ska scene in the US since the 90's. The chances of us hearing any music from your side of the big blue wonder is really unlikely to, no matter the genra.

as for the ska i know of, it is mostly from MX. (ie, lightyear, king blues).

I haven't been keeping up with the skapunk scene lately, but I do enjoy Weapons of Brass Destruction, among others...

southern Ontario has a pretty good ska-punk scene, its not huge but its starting to bud. check out Corporation:

I want to check those guys out at least just because they have such an awesome band name..
Do they have any free mp3's?

[The Ska Man]

Skacore, eh? I know a couple bands, they're alright.

Check out A Billion Ernies and Buckledown

Good skacore = Bosstones and the Impossibles and...

I got nothing.

Too often skacore is way more core than ska.

[Henrik]

What's a good mighty mighty bosstones album?

[Kithkin]

All of them.

Let's Face It would be the easiest to find.

i disagree about the no US ska scene statement

well maybe not a whole country scene but new york has a very good one

[DaveToopes]

Spitvalves are pretty good skacore.

in all honesty i never hear any UK bands unless its though myspace. im not just talkin about skacore. I honestly cant think of any really famous UK bands that got big in the past 2-3 years.
