Is there anywhere where I can find out about new reggae or ska releases?
 

Hey was wondering if anyone knew of any Reggae or Ska forums, websites, blogs or Facebook pages where I can find out about the latest reggae n ska news or latest releases?

Use google bro.

I usually go on a hunting trip on youtube clicking trough suggestions. First i enter a reggae/ska song i already know and go from there. :) Hope this helps.

I don't know where to go for regular updates, but if you want recommendations, By The Rivers and Captain SKA are awesome :)

Why not set up a website for FB page specifically for finding out about new reggae music? If what you want doesn't already exist, the best thing to do is make it exist yourself.

Here's a few of my favorite reggae music links:

dub music worldwide

JAMMIN REGGAE ARCHIVES - Gateway to reggae on the Internet

Essential Reggae CDs

Trojan -*Trojan

Reggae Music Store

Coalition To Preserve Reggae Music

100 Greatest Reggae Artists

The likes of the Trojan website as Gavin B pointed out above and DanceCrasher are great for keeping up with news, reisuues etc. on original artists . There are also lots of sites which focus also on 'new' bands playing ska and reggae like www.musicaloccupation.com

And further to my post above, here's a mix of old and new...Dave Barker from Dave & Ansel Collins (who had a a UK No. 1/US Top 30 hit with Double Barrel in 1971) performing in session at the BBC quite recently with a band from Dublin called Supertonic Sound Club. A studio version of the track is due out this summer as a single
