[bright lights, big city]

grew up on punk and ska. i totally digged the 3rd wave of ska or whatever it's called in the mid-90s. Bosstones, RBF, catch 22, Aquabats, LTJ, mad caddies, mu330, new streetlight manifesto is pretty grand as well

[ignore the fashion]

i too grew up on punk/ska, but there are only a small handful of bands from that genre that i still like and listen to.

those bands being...

nofx
pennywise
voodoo glow skulls
the offspring (old stuff anything after smash they got a little too poppy for me)
rancid
link 80
buck-o-nine

[Zevaka]

i was just watchingDance Hall Crashers live DVD

I'm more post-punk kid, though

[theis]

social distortion
against me!
bad religion
reel big fish
sublime
dropkick murphys

love those.. more to come.

[bright lights, big city]

forgot about sublime. and actually the new flogging molly and pennywise cd's are very good.
who knows, maybe they'll get me away from metal and hardcore music for once and bring me back to my roots

[Deadradio]

Ah, I remember the Ska of the 90's days.

Those bands used to come to Chicago by the shitloads.

[theis]

dropkick murphys and against me! are playing tomorrow night in copenhagen...and nobody fucking wants to go see them with me.

fucking bummer. i'm thinking about going anyway.

[Jacob]

Fishbone and Sublime. other than that I'm more into reggae than ska.

yes indeed, we were very fortunate. i remember seeing flogging molly at the riviera on st. pattys day awhile back. one of the best nights ever.

[ignore the fashion]

i've been listening to the new pennywise a lot lately, thats a damn good cd.

i kind of lost interest in then after full circle because i felt they were starting to change their sound a bit, but this new one is fucking awesome.

Anyone into Pepper, Slightly Stoopid, The Expendables?

If you're a fan of Sublime, definitely chekc out those bands. Great, chill music.

Also, could someone recommend me other great bands in the same "genre" as these bands?

[bright lights, big city]

I'd say maybe try Lucky Boys Confusion. They had a couple popular songs back in the day, but I thought their other songs were kind of similar to Pepper.

If you want straight up ska with the horns, then there are plenty more recommendations.

[deftonekid]

I've been listening lately to Asian Dub Foundation. They're pretty good. I like 311 a lot too.

Do yourself a favor and check out Aggrolites

[theis]
