Anybody listens to Ska-Punk?? I listen to one of the most famous (as I know...) Ska-Punk-bands, Reel Big Fish. Itīs just so good music!! You just canīt feel sad when listening to their music.
I used to be into Ska (Call it ska for short. Its alot easier) Some good ska bands are: Reel Big Fish, Skankin' Pickle, Mustard Plug, The Toasters, Catch 22, The Aquabats (my favorite), Big D and the Kids Table, and Streetlight Manifesto.
Ska is basically punk with weird twist. The highest pitched strings on the guitar are mostly used, and horns are added. Horns as in, Trumpets, Trombones, Tubas, and Baritones. Most ska bands have a Saxophone player too. (Usually Baritone sax) I saw a ska band once with a Clarinet player. Anyway, ska is known for its overall being different than any type of genre. Avid ska fans and bands usually like to wear bright, flashy, unmatching clothes. And of course something with a checkerboard design, as checker is sybol of ska.
no such thing as ska-punk as punk isn't a musical genre......whereas ska actually is, a mixture of reggae and jazz. Punk was a social movement.........many punks never, ever played an instrument in their life. Those who did played rock music......."punk music" was simply music played by punks.......be it rock, pop or country-western. Hell, a group of punks hanging together playing covers of Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash songs is punk music as it is merely music played by punks.
I used to dig ska. I listened to alot of skankin' pickle, bosstones, ruder than you, etc......
well, i'm in a ska band, love ska. mustard plugs, catch 22, less than jake, reel big fish, forces of evil, and the mighty mighty bosstones are just a few of my fav ska bands. ska was like, really big just a few years ago and then now it's kind of died and there's definantly less fans, but im one. it's just such upbeat hip music, don't see how you coudln't like it.
I ****ing love Ska. Five Iron Frenzy is my favorite band ever. Others I love are Catch 22, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, The Aquabats, Buck-O-Nine, Goldfinger, The Planet Smashers, Reel BIg Fish, The Skatalites, The Slackers, The Specials, and The Toasters. I need more.
<3 Ska
I also like Punk music a lot, but I lack a good amount of it.
