rudeboydh Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Let's talk about ska. Favorite bands? Records? Any represses you'd like to see, or anything you'd like to see pressed that's never been on vinyl? Any new releases you're looking forward to? Any new bands people are getting excited about? So far it looks like it's going to be a good year for ska. Sammy Kay's new album is comming out in the next few months, Deal's Gone Bad, the Slackers and the Resignators should have new albums out this year, and I'm sure there's more comming that I haven't mentioned or don't know about.

Emo Revival Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I actually just put out a ska record. boshkungrecords.storenvy.com. The record is on spotify/bandcamp. They're a band out of NJ, and they are amazing live! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudeboydh Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 Also, as far as represses go, I've heard that Paper and Plastick is repressing The Slackers - "Lost and Found". I've also heard they've got a repress of Wasted Days comming soon. That repress of The Question should be out soon as well, but I'm not sure if they'll have copies left over after preorders. I hope they will, cause I didn't have much money when it originally went up. Oh, and whatever Flood and Justin have planned next too!

thebiglebowski Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I will gladly be the first to mention a new Streetlight Manifesto record upcoming in the Ska thread. Any of you dudes show up at ska concerts in a 3 piece suit? Always thought that was cool when I saw it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been emailing Tom from Whatevski about hooking up a copy of the Question since I missed the campaign as well and he's been telling me the band might have leftover copies available but he's gonna get me the info. He told me a couple weeks ago the tests were just approved. He wanted me to get back to him this week so hopefully I can find out for sure and I'll let you know as well. rudeboydh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudeboydh Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 Yes, please PM me when you find out! And oh yeah, forgot about the new Streetlight album! Although I really don't consider them ska really. Just punk with horns in my book, but I still like them alright. I used to do the whole dress shirt/tie thing at shows, but then got to the point where I just didn't care. Also, I think the people who wear their father's suits are fucking lame. Everytime I go to a show in Atlanta, there's a dude there that looks like he should be in the music video for Zuit Suit Riot. He just looks like such a toolbag.

thebiglebowski Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Today is a great day on the board. There's about 5 topics that keep getting bumped I really like. Something new everytime I refresh. Not getting anything done, though. henster311 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomfortunepa Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 The new Inspecter 7 album is pretty good. Most people don't even know they are back together yet! I am really excited to see them with Meph in April. Also I just won this at a pretty decent price... http://www.ebay.com/itm/251230056075?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 rudeboydh and henster311 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudeboydh Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 Cool! I knew they were back togheter, but I didn't know they had a new album out already. I'll have to check that out. Any word on a vinyl release of the new album? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
videogamesandvinyl Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Anyone familiar with Mrs. Skannotto? They're pretty sweet. I caught them last year when they were on tour with Less than Jake. I believe they are touring with the Toasters right now. They just released a new album recently on cd but they keep saying it will be pressed on vinyl at a later date. If you haven't heard them, check 'em out.

Any word on a vinyl release of the new album? They didn't put out a vinyl release, only CD. There was a Hub City Stompers 7" put out right before they broke up though. A comp with Matty Glock's new band w/ the singer from The Whiskey Rebels out in California. It's available here: http://notdeadrecords.blogspot.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudeboydh Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 yeah, I've seen that 7". It looks cool, I'll probably pick it up eventually. Does anybody have the new David Hilliiard record yet? I've heard it's good, but I haven't been able to get it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeytags Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 the new King Django album also just came out. CD only as far as I can tell... http://www.stubbornrecords.com/shop/customer/product.php?productid=24610 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen them in a couple years (the Western New York ska scene between Buffalo and Rochester is practically dead now) so when I heard they got a giant tour like that it blew my mind. They must have turned it around. videogamesandvinyl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mclz Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Except for bands like Less Than Jake (which remains my 2nd favorite band ever) and other bands that hold that hold some nostalgia for me I can't really stand ska at all nowadays unless it's got some soul or 2-tone sound i.e. Specials, Selecters, Symarip, and Toots, or the more recent Slackers, Westbound Train, Green Room Rockers, etc. Pretty much all ska pre-2000 except Reel Big Fish who I always never really liked, is the only standard 3-wave ska i can still listen too. Any new band that mixes that soul sound I will totally be into. Green Room Rockers are one of the best bands around right now. All that said CAN'T WAIT FOR MEPHISKAPHELES ON 4/20 IN NEW JERSEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! P.P.P.S. - I wish MU330 still toured and made new music.

You should check out the Pinstripes "I" album that came out last year, and they're ever in your area, you need to catch them live. I saw them with English Beat and was blown away. So good. And you should also check out The Bandulus new one "The Times We Had". It's not on vinyl, but they're trying to get some money together to press it, so buy a digital copy. If you're into more soul infused ska/reggae, you'll definately love both of those albums. My top 2 from last year definately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
000000 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Everyone needs to listen to this band so maybe they'll get back together and tour again. EDIT: Also this tune: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
