I’m absolutely into crack rock steady, Leftöver Crack and Choking Victim are my favorite two, I also love some groups like Op Ivy and Less Than Jake. I don’t like the modern sound or most poppier sounding 2000s stuff.

Just picked up today at my local shop, they ordered it for me after I bought that specials vinyl

Pretty accurate..

I wanna explore more this period of the genre since i am more into the 90s and 2010s, so what are some good compilations and artists from that era? If you guys also have playlists i would love that too.

Death of Guitar Pop

What's the deal with these guys? They seemingly came out of nowhere with their debut album featuring Bad Manners horn section, maybe I read that wrong but I am sure they had backing from a hugely successful group.

I just wondered what the bands history was, who are the 2 guys in the band? Silky and that dude with glasses, do they have other work from previous bands? How do you get Bad Manners horn section on your debut album?

Thanks for any insight.

Dr.No was a ska / punk band in the Colorado Springs / Denver area from 1998-2002. They’re playing a reunion show at Lulus Downtown in Colorado Springs on Aug 24th. Tickets are on sale now.

So I went to see the Toasters, Spies Like Us, and Channel One last month at Vibes Underground, which was the first show I went to after a 24 year absence. I absofuckingloutly loved it and sparked my love for shows again.

Are there any Ska shows coming up soon?

I used to read the Current for shows but I can’t find it anymore.

Looking for newer music that is either heavily two tone inspired or adjacent. Any recs? Doesn’t even need to be ska

I don’t need Bad Operation recommended been onboard since they released “Bagel Rooks” as a single.

Many blessings in advance to whomever gives me something new for my ear holes.

I absolutely love the Skatalites. I need to make that clear upfront :)
Is it just me or does anyone else wish they would change up the live setlist a little bit?

I have seen them many times. In the early 2000s, they played a great mix of old and new. Along with the classics - I think On the Right Track, Walk With me, and Platinum Ska are all phenomenal albums. Over the past decade, it feels like I have seen almost the exact same set every time, all focused on the old songs. I know that people want to hear the classics (I do too!) - but I really think these 3 albums have so many songs worth playing at the shows. I'd love for them to mix it up again.

I keep wondering if it has something to do with the rights to the songs...some of the guys that wrote songs on those albums are long gone. (on a side note, I think Zem now has a Grammy from working with Taylor Swift)

This isn't necessarily a criticism of the band - it's more like praise for the amazing new music they've put out over the past couple decades

I have no clue of the artist, but I could swear the title was like “these 3 words” or “three little words” or something dealing with 3 words, but it starts slow and then speeds up. and the 3 words are like asking someone to dance. Like “let’s just dance” or something I can’t remember for the life of me now and I wanted to listen to it again! Please help!

So fucking hyped for this. Who else is goin?? Feel like such a sick modern lineup should be a little more talked about in the scene but maybe that's just me
