Some of my favs for Ska punk and third wave ska:

Catch 22, Streetlight Manifesto, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Mustard Plug, The Specials, Bob Marley and the Wailers' first album, Suicide Machines, Fishbone, Skarface, the Skatalities, the Planet Smashers, whatever.

New Groove Formation
 

You should check these guys out, a breath of fresh Ska!!

Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, Streetlight Manifesto, The Specials, The English Beat, early Marley, Reel Big Fish but really I find that for a genre that is so cool in theory, there are really not as many good ska bands that I would hope for in reality. For me I think a lot of ska tends to blend into whiny pop punk way more often than it should. Even bands like Reel Big Fish can be a little whiny in subject matter for me.

Less Than Jake, by far my favorite.

A very, very distant second is Pepper.

If you guys like old school, soulful ska/reggae you should check out my band...

Here is an example of our tunes, a little more dubby:

youtu.be/G-ThR-HVPdg

I've barely seen any Sublime in this link! Streetlight, Catch 22, Pepper, 311 on occasion, are all good new wave ska, yo.

That's because Reel Big Fish are 3rd wave Ska where most of it is whiny Pop Punk unfortunately. Try bands like Evil Empire or The Flaming Tsunamis for something a little different (actually a lot different!).

The Specials
Operation Ivy
The Cat Empire
Los De Abajo
Rancid
Streetlight Manifesto
Sublime
And I like some Rebelution, Mad Caddies, Catch 22, Hepcat, The Expendables, illScarlett and Rx Bandits.

Slightly Stoopid

just listen to their album Everything you need, really good ****
