Ms Magpie Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I like some ska from time to time but I don't listen to it that much ... However, I suppose that The Skatelites, Mad Caddies and Elvis Jackson are quite ska. or at least ska punk (the second and the third band). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms Magpie Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 hm, I never knew No Doubt was ska. *shrugs* But I think that it's something the best for those who find themselves in it. And those who don't, don't listen to it that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And those who don't, don't listen to it that much. Wow, that's news for me :lol: Yeah, I agree. Well, we've got a quite good band here in the Czech republic. It's calle d TleSKAč, and I've already been to a perfomance and it was brilliant. Although I don't know many bands which are known world-wide.

Darlene_Ihnfsa Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 i'm listening to a ska song and i realized i never heard anyone ever mention this genre here. any of you fans? know any good ska bands? hey justin. so once again, there's a musical genre that i randomly came around to check some months ago. i firstly wanted to know about punk (music, influence in society, their ideals and so on) and somehow it lead me to check ska aswell. if i remember well there was a thread opened by brutino about it and i bumped the punk thread aswell back then. first ska-punkish band i'd check: dead kennedys. then reel big fish and lanwagon. (from what i've read those two are releasing new album this year) other than those, there's really few bands i did checked that did sounded much good and some are tagged as ska when don't sound like it or don't match the other 'sign' of the genre, at least the original idea. ska is a very festive melody (as to say is the grandfather of reggae) with political lyrics, criticism or protest about something that one dislikes mostly, at least in the origin. long time since i saw you, i hope things are all good to you. hm, I never knew No Doubt was ska. *shrugs* But I think that it's something the best for those who find themselves in it. And those who don't, don't listen to it that much. i agree with the disagreement, No Doubt being Ska? :confused: I think Vampire Weekend are influenced by the Ska sound. hum, i have to reckon that Vampire Weekend sound quite festive band, but other than that i see no ska relation to it i shall check it better.

bjaiken Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Early No Doubt is definitely ska. They evolved from there. Even as they evolved, their music still had a ska sound to it, specifically the guitar sound. By the way, I hate music labeling, so I'm not sure why I commented.

Karencorpse Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Ska came from the 1960s in Jamaica, with primitive sounding recordings like Skatalites who still tour and play live and very good. There are a lot of younger bands who play this sometimes mixed with rock or punk like the Mighty Bosstones. There was some from the 1980s like the Specials. You can see videos of this on Youtube.

Destrokk Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Ah ok, lemme see. EDIT: Eh, maybe it's a beachy kind of influence. It's okay but I'm not really into it right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
