ska is where its at i love it, its all i listen to, i also have my own ska band and we've played with bands such as streetlight manifesto, big d and the kids table, catch 22 and r.b.f, jazz is also my favorite but it is incorporated into ska

streetlight is sweet, amazing live. and BOTAR is cool too

old suicide machines is sweet too. i saw them in their hometown detroit and they put on amazing shows. they played all destrucion by definition stuff. it was nice.

Keasby Nights is the Catch22 album I have and its fiznackling sick. Less than Jake is hard to hate, I know how you feel, but even their latest album is pretty decent IMO.

I got into Ska beacause there was this awesome local band called Pocketface, they were the fiznackling shizzle. I still see the bass player at shows occasionally, him an I are kinda friends. They got uber popular around school, they had a pretty huge local following. I also enjoy Five Iron Frenzy.

this is for the people askin what ska is...

1. ska

Three different types: "Traditional", "2-Tone" and "3rd Wave". Traditional came about in the late 1950s as new dance music straight out of Jamaica. 2-Tone is named such because whites and blacks came together to form ska bands to spread unity in the 1970s. 3rd Wave is when ska hit America in the late 1980s, and added a bit of punk flair.

Also a very flexible style of music, incorporateable into other styles, which is why it's still around today and has such a large and diverse fan base.

2. ska

One of the most versitile and long lasting genre of music alive today. Disregarding some peoples beliefs, Ska makes itself individualised by its brass section, walking basslines and offbeat guitar chords. There were 3 waves of ska; Trad, 2 tone and 3rd wave but most bands today are 3rd wave caus its totally cool. It has derived from alot of influences, of which jazz, reggae, swing and punk would be the most prominant. Suits, big shades and dancin' shoes are usually worn at a ska concert...
