I always thought of ska-punk mostly just being the staccato-like guitar playing with fast punk tempos with use of horns here and there which makes Operation Ivy a great example again.
I always saw Less Than Jake as a ska-punk band but never really saw Reel Big Fish as much of a punk band.
So if the Bosstones are the sole owners of the ska-core genre where would bands like Choking Victim, Leftover Crack, and Evil Empire fit in? Or do you see them as more hardcore punk than anything?
