i have officially been a part of a ska band for 2 months with a total of one rehearsal. it has been interesting hearing reactions from other musicians. so what is your take? do you like ska and if so, suggestions on songs to play or listen to. thanks

Pretty much anything off older Asian Man Records stuff.
Alot of people are bored with the old 90's model of ska stuff and the newer mix with hardcore/thrash type songs filled with passion are really hitting it big. The Fad, The Flaming Tsunamis, We Are The Union, Bomb The Music Industry, Fatter Than Albert...
