Pretty detailed description on what ska is and how to play it. It's currently what i'm studying on now :bigjoint:

I'd love to try to bring the reggae-punk-stoner rock style known as Ska back into the limelight. It's a great genre. But that's just my opinion.

iat rudebois and rudegirls! i play in a ska/punk band. so good when you can rock out like crazy for a few songs, then toke up and bounce with the beats to sum slow ones.

underground ska is a lot better than those mainstream bands, but still, Reel Big Fish are siccc..i'm seeing them in a couple of weeks..as well as the aquabats! :)

State radio, Slapstick, Slackers, Pilfers, Catch 22,Big D and the kids table, Against all authority AAA, Choking victim, Scotty Don't aka Badfish, John Brown Body (more reggae but I recomend Guvne dub sessions), mustard plug, op ivy, Rx bandits, Suicide machines, full service (some songs), and so many more but start with these and skank on. Spread the love too, not enough happy dancing and jamming people in the world.

Hell yeah, man. Nothing better than hanging out with friends, jamming on the guitar, and smoking a couple bowls. I'm a bigger fan of the third-wave, ska-punk feel than I am true ska. But I'll still chill back with it if the moment suits it.
