There and to the left a bit |
Two Tone was part of my musical awakening and even though it wasn't strictly ska, more influenced by it, through there I discovered the original ska of Desmond Dekker, Prince Buster, Toots & The Maytals, The Skatalites, The Pioneers and more...
...and bringing it right up to more modern times bands like The Simmertones, The Bluebeaters, Lee Thompson Ska Orchestra and more have helped rejuvenate and keep the sound alive |

"what has this forum become This isn't Facebook, its a swinging site!!!
What's the problem.?"
One thing I love about The Lounge is that it covers topics on a vast range of subjects. Finding like-minded people with music, culture, hobbies etc is a real joy.
I love reggae and dub. Ska is great too, but I’m less well-up on that. Some of my favourite tracks:
Culture - Two Sevens Clash
Niney the Observer - Blood and Fire
Black Uhuru - Going to Zion
The Heptones - Freedom Line
Lee Perry - Dreadlocks in Moonlight
Jacob Miller - Healing of the Nation
Count Ossie and the Mystical Revelations of Rastafari - Way Back Home
Jennifer Lara - I’m in Love
Toots and Maytals - Redemption Songs
Sabres of Paradise - Wilmot |

I think the joy of ska/reggae is that it can fit around most genres and works in both directions - for example I've heard ska covers of everything from Oasis, Kraftwerk and Duran Duran to Tzchaikovsky and also heard elements of ska/reggae in songs by Green Day, The Clash and more

Yep and the House Of Fun Weekend in November if it goes ahead - although I wouldn't necessarily call Madness a ska band - sure they draw influences from it, but their music is not purely ska and has elements of so much more |

A few more to check out if you don't know them already:
The Simmertones - awesome bright, breezy and brassy ska from the SW
Death Of Guitar Pop - ska with an edge from Essex
The Bluebeaters - Italian ska band who do some fantastic covers - their cover of Oasis' Roll With It is brilliant
Rude Boy George - NY band who mainly do ska covers
The Amphetameanies - Scottish ska
Esperanza - more Scottish ska |

hubs has loads of bluebeat and ska mostly the very early stuff but he collects the stuff that was before that too ... Jamaican r n b - Jamaican blues - Jamaican vocal groups / doowop alot of these guys went to the usa in the 50s to try and make it some did some did not but out of that scene bluebeat and ska was born as well as calypso of course being a massive influence ...
also big fans of the two tone stuff too got nearly 60 of the trojan boxsets so even tho his main go to is rockabilly- psychobilly we love our ska reggae too |

A group is only "past it" if the individual listener thinks so though - maybe because I only discovered their wider catalogue more recently, but I certainly don't think they are.
Less Than Jake I know, will have to check the others out although on a brief listen to a couple of Mad Caddies tracks they didn't immediately grab me I have to confess. |

Reel Big Fish are so past it. If you’re into RBF I’d recommend less than Jake, Goldfinger, ooh and Mad Caddies for sure
A group is only "past it" if the individual listener thinks so though - maybe because I only discovered their wider catalogue more recently, but I certainly don't think they are.
Less Than Jake I know, will have to check the others out although on a brief listen to a couple of Mad Caddies tracks they didn't immediately grab me I have to confess."
Mad Caddies are amazing. They keep the ska roots too. RBF are so past it, when a band is left with only the front man and many time removed other members it’s time to pack it in |

Reel Big Fish aren't quite ska punk but having only known Sell Out until a year or so ago, I bought their monster best of album (70 odd tracks for only £8) and it blew me away - such talent with some brilliant covers
Good shout, got some of these on playlists. I really enjoy The Interrupters, they are gigging this year, need to have a session you tube hopping to find some other bands.
A few more to check out if you don't know them already:
The Simmertones - awesome bright, breezy and brassy ska from the SW
Death Of Guitar Pop - ska with an edge from Essex
The Bluebeaters - Italian ska band who do some fantastic covers - their cover of Oasis' Roll With It is brilliant
Rude Boy George - NY band who mainly do ska covers
The Amphetameanies - Scottish ska
Esperanza - more Scottish ska"
Couple of new ones there, love the Amphetameanies, would love to see them at home.
Cheers, will look the Bluebeaters up |

"A bit main stream but anyone booked for the Madness tour this December?
I’m really hoping it goes ahead, it’s the last one and weve been to all the others.
It won't be the last tour but if you're referring the the HOFW then it's the last one they're "contracted" for but given their success I wouldn't be surprised if there are more
Hope so, cracking weekend.
Anyone know any decent ska punk bands? Always looking for more tunes to listen to
They are awesome weekends - haven't made all of them but quite a few and always have a blast.

All good.
Love the posts & comments and learning .

Saw the 'Meanies at HOFW a few years back - amazing live - not sure if they're still going though - know the bass player is working with another band called Rudebeard now but not sure if that's as well as the 'Meanies or instead of |

So you don’t know any modern bands? Why’s that? I make sure I’m discovering new bands constantly yet also know the history and legends of times past |

To be honest having seen both versions of the band - Roger's one and Dave's one, and no disrespect to Roger who put on a good show, Dave's is far better, and will be back over here next year. Roger was a lovely bloke and provided a lot of energy, but found his version to be a bit "by the numbers", whereas Dave as the songwriter just brings that little bit more to the songs and has the better backing band who have helped evolve the songs just that bit more.
