Really? I searched some of those new trad bands and two tone bands and didn't get any more then like four files

Oh yeah, searching for the new trad bands you will, quite frankly die on your arse (there all complete no-names). The only one i can see you finding is Hepcat...

But Two Tone, did you try Madness and the Specials? Theyre both pretty big bands. Maybe not in the US though...

I already know about the bigger two tone bands like The Specials and English Beat, I was looking for more of the ones you mentioned and I actually found some songs from: The Lambrettas, The Skalars, The Allstonians, The Adjusters

Oh, ok then. I dont have the program anyway, haha. Go with the Adjusters, they have a website you can find on google with MP3s, theyre my favourite.

[QUOTE=FillInTheBlankHere___]The Rude Dudes are an awesome local ska/punk band, though they're not as thrashy as they claim to be. [url]http://www.purevolume.com/therudedudes[/url][/QUOTE]

^^^you were only naming the more obscure ones you know, right?

Pfff, i can go more obscure than that...

Articles anyone?

Roddy Radiation and the Skabilly Rebels are supporting Sham when I see them on Saturday..I know its the bloke from the Specials, but can anyone tell me anything about this band ie. what they sound like..good songs etc..Thanks

Ska and rockabilly?

Hey, has anyone picked up the Mojo magazine special about The Specials, Madness, and ska? It came out like since August but I just noticed it last week. It is SUCH a good mag, haven't had time to read it all, but I love it so far.

I wish my friends liked ska... I was at a friend's house and put a Madness cd on. After a few songs, they rejected it and had to change the cd. They told me they "got scared". Plus, they called it "gypsy music" and "techno-funk", their exact words. Wtf, man... That's it, when I go to college, I'm going somewhere with a good ska scene.

wtf man!?!?!?!....you can't leave out reel big fish!

Yeah, got it. It is pretty awesome.

And i think Ska and Rockabilly isnt too bad a combination...

Does anyone know where I can find the BOTAR mp3's? The links on their site don't seem to work.

EDIT: Never mind, got them.

this is the greatest thing i have ever found on this site

Bro! Darest you not even mention Mephiskapheles?! How about SKA-P? Can't exclude satanic ska or ska en espanol.

Also, none of the pages can be found. I wanted to hear those Big D songs along with some others like Tripple A (which by the way was one of the most kick-*** bands live) and to my dismay...404. (tear)

Ska-P sucks, Jamaica 69 or those mexican bands in that one thread are way better

The Too-Toos :cool:

I've heard a couple of songs by The Toasters, and i really like them, but i'm not sure which album i should get :confused: Any suggestions?

The Best Of. Then you only get the good tracks and none of the ****. I might add i dont really like The Toasters.

[QUOTE=WorkingClassHero]The Best Of. Then you only get the good tracks and none of the ****. I might add i dont really like The Toasters.[/QUOTE]

Thanks, I was considering getting that one too...Anyone else have a suggestion?

I suggest you download songs...it's much cheaper, and you don't have to pay for ****. Screw corporate America, pirating is so much more fun. ROFLLOL

I checked the first few pages of the post but i didn't see either the Hippos or the Peacocks listed anywhere.

I don't really know a lot about either band except that they are both 3rd Wave and they both kick major ***.

The Hippos are somewhere in the realm between LTJ and early Catch 22. The Peacocks are a somewhat more ecclectic from what i've heard. Here is a link to a review of the Peacocks [url]http://ska.about.com/library/weekly/blrevjump022.htm[/url]

If you are looking for sample songs check out "Diane" by the Hippos and "It's Not Too Late" by the Peacocks.

I Love Ska

Since I don't think this thread comes back to life often I saved it under favorites, thanks man, great thread
