Some of my favorite ska bands probably fly a little bellow the radar and i'm sure most of the people have heard of them. The Community Records label pretty much has some of the best ska bands in the country and are defiantly checking out!
So who is your favorite band that you think everyone should hear about?
The Ripps, from Coventry. Like the Dead 60s, only with a stronger Jam influence and (in my opinion) a bit better.
I only heard of them through a friend's recommendation; I'm not sure what the ska scene or "2-Tone Revival", as it seems, is like in England, but I certainly wouldn't mind seeing more bands like this (preferably in America, but I'll get what I can take for now).
Skamasutra A damn good 3rd wave band from New Hampshire. Guys are more nerdy looking than me, but they play damn good music.
And the Jazz Assassins Good 3rd wave from Southern california that is strictly instrumental. Real fun to listen to and no lyrics to worry about. Saw them when I want to see the Skatalites.
