Anyone Know what Ska is anymore?

xxxIs there any ska fans out there anymore. I cant beleive how many people don't even know what it is!

Fuzz	09-24-2004 09:28 AM

If anyone is into Ska please let me know because I have doubts as to if its actually well known anywhere anymore! By the way if anyone is in the Adams/York County area of Pennsylvania keep your eyes open in the next year or so for Reel Camels Dont Smoke. Were trying to bring back the SkaCore! Besides its so fun to beable to watch people dance and have fun to music you're actually playing.

Yeah, I can remember a few ska bands like Mighty Bosstones, RBF, and Cutaway. I cant remember anymore bands so ska is a dying genre to me exept for Mighty Bosstones still kicks ****in ass.

So, overall, you are one of the very few people under 20 that still listens to ska.

I think ska is still kickin' in the new millenium. Ever since Two Tone there's been a new indie ska label practically every few months. Just look at the warped tour, its pretty mainstream and usually its got tons of people skanking to a few ska bands, whether it be RBF, Mad Caddies, Big D, Planet Smashers, whatever. Personally, I'm all about the baggy trousers. Madness baby.

Oi_To_The_World

Dead Wrong!!!!

you people are stupid. ska is alive and well. bands like I Voted For Kodos, You and What Army, and East Broadway are HUGE not only in their local areas but around the country. ska isn't dead at all. or even dying for that matter. its just that there are too many people buying that mainstream mind**** crap and nobody cares about the real talent anymore.

Oi_To_The_World

11-15-2004 03:54 PM

im assuming when someone says a genre is "dead" they mean that it is not making mainstream-kinda money. i dont see how people wouldnt care about real talent, its just that we differ in opinions about talent

Ska has never really been dead. Dont buy into that wave bull**** you always hear. Real ska is alive and well. Most people are just to lazy to look for anything not being fed to them.

The only SKA band that I listen to is less than jake but there not real ska.
The album that I have is Borders and Boundaries (Their earlier album) Since that album i heard that they have dropped they're "ska roots."

All_Nite_Dinah

11-19-2004 02:53 PM

LTJ has never been ska

i am not emo

11-22-2004 12:05 PM

i like RBF and mad caddies, i saw them when they had a gig in birmingham...they were great.
