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.

Sammy Kay and the East Lost Three are doing a Kickstarter style campaign for their new album "Love Letters" http://bigtun.es/projects/index/2 15$ gets you black vinyl, 20$ gets you limited red vinyl! If you haven't heard of Sammy Kay, he's the previous bassist of The Forthrights. Guests on this album include Vic Ruggiero from the Slackers! Also follow Sammy Kay on Facebook for updates: http://www.facebook.com/sammykayandthefastfour?group_id=0 Super excited about this, please show some support so we can get an excellent debut album from Sammy!

I made a petition to get Westbound Train's albums pressed to vinyl! Sign it for me! Maybe something will come of it, maybe not. We'll see. Won't hurt to try, will it? http://www.change.org/petitions/hellcat-epitath-records-press-westbound-train-and-out-of-print-slackers-records-on-vinyl

Comming August 28th from Stomp Records is The Beatdown's second album "Walking Proud" I'm really excited about this, their first album was fantastic. Haven't heard anything about a vinyl release of this album yet, but their first album was pressed, and I'm sure this one will too. August is shaping up to be a good month for ska/reggae!

So does anybody know anything about this band? I've been trying to look up some info on them and I can find almost nothing other than they have some members of RX Bandits and Chris Murray Combo. The only album from them I can find is Savor Every Moment. Did they make any more albums? Are they still playing or are they broken up? Does anybody know? Any info would be appreciated.

Comming out August 21 on Paper + Plastick. I'm super pumped for this album. Seriously waiting all summer for it. Just wondering if any Westbound Train fans have been excited for this like I have. @Thomas: Do you have any clue when the PO is going up seeing as this is 3 weeks away? Any clue on how the vinyl is comming along? Any news would be appreciated, seeing as how I can't find hardly any news about it on the P+P website.

I just saw this on Yahoo: http://music.yahoo.com/news/snoop-dogg-becomes-snoop-lion-readies-reggae-cd-161013663.html What do y'all think? This could either be really good.... or really bad. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
