Hey Kith, could you put up some information on Selecter? I heard 'On My Radio' and quite like it, but I was wondering about albums/other good songs etc.

I want to find more Capdown stuff...Great band from what I've heard but I've only been able to get my hands on 5 songs so far and you can't buy their stuff over here.

I just saw Arrogant Sons Of Bitches w/ The Know How this past friday...it was a really good show...Kith you were right about them being a good live band...uhh...me and my friends were talking to the keyboardist...he is the greatest he is so funny...He told me that he is recording a new cd and the producer is the bassist of Big D and The Kids Table...anyway overall it was really good The Know How put on a good show with beach balls and lots and lots of silly string....

Bump cause this is a nifty thread (and I need to reference it in the next few days and don't want to bookmark it or search for it)

Hmmm, the site I was going to post the in depth profiles is down for a bit, so I will post them here for now.

[b]Bio:[/b]

One of the few political 3rd wave ska bands, Against All Authority (or AAA) is a ska-core band that really preforms well. They are from the DIY scene in Florida but now regularly tour the US due to their popularity. They are often compared to [URL=http://choking-victim.iwarp.com/]Choking Victem[/URL] or [URL=http://www.leftovercrack.com/index2.html]Leftover Crack[/URL]. They have done splits with [URL=http://www.lessthanjake.com/news/]Less Than Jake[/URL] and [URL=http://www.thepist.com/]Pist[/URL].

which site was that then Kith? ;) thanks man

btw it's back up now

Kithkin, i <3 you and your ska-ness

Have you guys forgot about Streetlight Manifesto? Either that or you haven't heard them. They formed from ex-members of Catch-22 and One Cool Guy and that are the tightest ska band I have ever heard. Their music is more hardcore than most bands, but thier album Everything Went Numb is definately worth buying/copying/downloading/stealing/getting.

Kithkin, you should start your own website about ska.

ska owns man!!!

Sublime was good when they were around, what do you people think?

i think Sublime are awesome :)

[QUOTE=RedMenace4]Kithkin, you should start your own website about ska.[/QUOTE]
if i knew anything about web design;)

Kithkin...this thread is the best thing since sliced bread, your like my idol...i always liked ska but never got really into it...but ever since i read ur thread iam really getting into it...my brains on ska!

ska rocks!! nice job on the writing :thumb:

<--- big Madness/two tone fan

ahh I just got in my mail the book with Madness sheet music in it! I love playing their songs.

The Hot Knives are a great 2nd-3rd(not sure) band. I haven't found a website for them, but they're from Bristol. The only album I know of is "Screams, Dreams, and Custard Creams."

I wish someone would start their own website about ska, theres nothing anywhere.

Anyone know these bands?
Isaac Green and the Skalars?
The Slackers (well duh)?
The Allstonians?
Mobtown?
Parka Kings?
And many more....
Third wave trad and swing ska bands!

The HotKnives are contemporary with the Toasters, but i'd call them Second Wave revival in style.

very nicely done, however imo catch 22 was only good for keasbey nights their breakoff band Streetlight Manifesto however is Excellent :thumb:

p.s. you forgot one the forefathers of two-tone MADNESS i HIGHLY suggest listening to "One Step Beyond" their lead singer was Chass Smash, u guys should watch a video of this guy dance, man can he go, unique skank.

The Specials started two-tone, both the style and the record company. Madness were a good band that came to it. And Chas Smash, his dad was an Irish Dancing champion, thats where he got his unique style. How do i remember this ****?

Actually the lead singer of Madness is Graham "Suggs" McPherson..off topic, but he's cute!

Anyways, does anyone know where you can watch Madness videos? I can't seem to find any.
