We're somewhere in the ska genre- would you consider adding our song to your personal playlist?

I'm just askin'
Have their been any trumpet, trombone or saxaphone players that were in a school marching band before becoming a member of a ska band?

Happy birthday!
Losing Streak was released on 11/12/1996. This record was one of my introductions into ska, and is still top tier IMO.
Happy 28th!

Hey everyone, this is Aaron Carnes, author of In Defense of Ska (and host of the In Defense of Ska podcast).
I'm doing two book events in the Pacific Northwest. If you live up there, I really hope to see you there! If you have any friends in the area, I would really appreciate you letting them know! Thanks so much!

My dad was complimented by Dicky Barrett

What band would be a good example of this?
A cheesy third-wave ska band that thinks they're better than every artist in the music industry. (extra: some of their songs would make fun of controversial music artists)

Who in your own opinion is the most underrated Ska/Punk band. I'll go first.
In my opinion it's the Mad Caddies. I have been listening to these guys for over 20 years and they are slept on big time. They are one of the greatest Ska/Punk bands of all time and when I talk to people they have never heard of them. I would like to know who I have been sleeping on and should listen to.

I think that each wave of ska can be defined by a certain version of the song, Monkey Man
First wave: The Maytals. Second wave: The Specials. Third wave: Reel Big Fish.

Millington - Cobra Lounge Chicago
Hey folks,
I have two free tickets up for grabs for tonight. Unfortunately I'm coming down with something and I don't want to risk being in public and getting anyone else sick.
Absolutely heartbroken, but hopefully someone can put them to good use.
First person to send me a DM gets the pair!
