New good Ska Punk?

[Nick Jacobs]

So I've been listening to some 90s ska punk and was wondering if any new bands have that sound. Thanks!

Hello Nick. I used to play the drums in a Ska/Punk band here in the UK called Spanner. Look for the song called Punk As Fuck on Youtube. Our LP/CD is dsitributed in North America by Insurgence records from Canada.

Checkout the Swedish band: The Liptones. They have a couple of good releases.

You should check Greek "63High"...one of the best ska/punk bands of the 00s in my opinion...

 I'm not a fan of the genre , BUT , when I was in Mexico , I saw a band called Los Gorditos. They were INSANE ! I think they're pretty popular in Mexico , so finding you tubes or CDs you can order from outside of Mexico should'nt be a problem.

I used to work for Radical Records. They put out a bunch of ska punk in the late 90's like Inspector 7, which was cool cause they used an organ and had a really dark sound. Radical also released a series called Oi/Skampilation which might be worth checking out if your into this kinda stuff. In my opinion the newer ska gets the suckier it gets but I have seen some interesting bands like World/Inferno Friendship Society and Tri-state Conspiracy. As for Japanese bands worth checking out, try Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra... after that there are a plethora of bands doing the ska-punk thing after the American third wave. Oi-Skall Mates would be the best bet for anyone interested in garage.

I had a look at your profile (but not in a creepy way). And you come from the States so it's possible you missed the whole scene that was live in Britain during the naughties.

Capdown, King Prawn, Sonic Boom Six, Howards Alias. Sonic Boom Six are still going strong although never made it into being a very big pop band which I never understood as they always seemed so close.

The Filaments are more angry punk ska (also not that new) I saw them first support the Exploited what must be 9 or 10 years ago now. But they were cool.
