Good to see Zark included my favorite Nick Cave song, Tupelo from the underrated "The Firstborn is Dead"

Introduction To Crack Rock Steady/Skacore

Choking Victim, the first self proclaimed Crack Rock Steady band coined the term in 1993 with the release of there EP. Also refered to as Skacore, Crack Rock Steady bands are most against capitalism and primarily have anarchist lyrics. Although most of these bands aren't Crust Punk, they lead the (mostly) same life style, squatting (when a group of people will take over an abandoned building to live in), participating in raves, and road protests.
The sound is most notably characterized by a fast paced staccato (also known as skanking) on guitar.

Haha sure....

Seriously though this isn't the first time you've said pretty much the exact same thing I was thinking. I guess you're just a much bigger copycat than I thought

I have both Choking Victim and Leftover Crack in my library but I have to say that they are OK in small bursts I find that the skanking guitar sounds grate after a while with barely no thought into why they are in there and an approach that almost belittles Trad Ska in that it's seems is there for the sake of it and the lack of horn work leaves the music lacking energy and dare I say it? A little bit of fun. Most 3rd wave Ska is similar but there is enough reverence to Trad Ska for it to be palatable whereas putting in some skanking guitar doesn't really make it Ska at all in my eyes.

I'm not 100% what you are saying, but I put "/Skacore" because some people do call it Skacore but most of these bands are self proclaimed Crack Rock Steady.

Beginner's Guide to Killing Joke

So here's a band that I've really liked for quite a few years now but barely gets talked about on here. I think the only other member I've ever seen mention them is Janzoon which automatically makes him my BFF.

Anyhow Killing Joke is an English Post-Punk/Industrial Rock/Quasi-Metal band that started back in 1979. They're known for a heavy driving sound played at a slow pace. Heavy and slow is the way to describe their music, but there's so much more to it than that. With elements of post-punk, new wave, and pop they really transcended so many boundaries that held back other bands similar in that genre.

I did my best to include songs from all over their discography (which is quite extensive) but for the most part I stuck with their heavier stuff, adding a couple of their poppier songs.

Track Listing

01. "The Death & Resurrection Show" - Killing Joke (2003 version)
02. "Wardance" - Killing Joke (1980 version)
03. "Invocation" - Hosannas from the Basement of Hell
04. "Requiem" - Killing Joke (1980 version)
05. "Adoration" - Brighter Than A Thousand Suns
06. "Exorcism" - Pandemonium
07. "Democracy" - Democracy
08. "Pandemonium" - Pandemonium
09. "Total Invasion" - Killing Joke (2003 version)
10. "Zennon" - Killing Joke (2003 version)
11. "Sun Goes Down" - Wilful Days

Get it Here

enjoy!
