Hey Wired All Wrong, have you heard of The Sentiments from Portland?
I've been listening to them a lot this past week and really liking it.

I've heard one of their songs, Please Stop Your Lyin', but I haven't heard anything from the album you posted. Just into the first song and I love it. Thanks so much. Love a good soul ska style.

Awesome, I appreciate that you post so many different albums here, but I never get around to listening to them because I do a lot of my listening at work and I don't browse the forum then. Do you have a good recommendation for a spotify playlist that I could follow?

Thanks thelongestj. Just hoping some people find some good music to get into. I guess write down some of the artists I post or make a playlist on Spotify with a song from each album at home as a reminder to check it out when you're at work. If you like The Sentiments style of music I think you'll really like some of the stuff I've posted so far in the thread.

As far as Spotify playlists go, I don't really follow any. I have a playlist that I've posted before, so you may have checked that out already. I've been slacking lately, but I usually add a lot of songs from albums I've posted here. A search on Spotify for Ska Punk, Traditional Ska, Ska Jazz, etc should bring up some playlists to check out I would think. Sorry I don't have any specific ones to tell you to listen to.

Really enjoying the abraskadabra album, my favorite kind of ska punk.

So my city announced their 19th annual ska festival this summer.

http://victoriaskafest.ca/

Stoked to see the Bosstones again and really looking forward to checking out Western Standard Time Ska Orchestra, they sound great. I've never heard of the other artists.

If anyone is planning on making the trip up here let me know.

Looks like a great show. I really like Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad and Kingston Rudieska. I also liked the few songs I've heard from The Phonosonics. Would definitely love to see Western Standard Time. From the videos I've seen of them, they look like they would put on an awesome show.

Popes of Chillitown have a new album "Work Hard, Play Hard, See You In The Graveyard" coming out on May 4th. They released one song from the album Get Off/Get On. Sounds great. Be sure to check out their last two albums To the Moon and A Word to the Wise if you haven't yet. Some great high energy ska/punk.

Call Me Malcolm - There is no "I" in Apocalypse


These guys are coming out with an album april 6th, and if the rest of the album is even close to being as good as this song, it will join The JB Conspiracy - The Storm as some of the best ska-punk to have been released in the last 10 years.

Edit: I should maybe qualify this by saying it's 3rd Wave Ska that I'm talking about.

 

[Rinse Bassfunk]

I have to admit, that just isn't my speed in terms of taste. It feels a little vanilla. I prefer the Capdown/Filaments/leftover crack style, though I have completely lost touch with where that sound is at the moment. Can't believe Pound for the Sound came out 17 years ago...

Edit, don't mean to be crappy on taste, it just feels like I've seen and heard better ska punk from local bands over the years

Edit 2 - just seen your edit, production-wise it sounds great. That's where a lot of bands fall apart, the bands I've been in included.

I listened to so much stuff from Asian Man records back in the day. That and stuff from Moon Ska. So much good music came from those labels. Jump Up has/had tons of great bands too. Probably going to listen to some Skankin' Pickle today now that you bring them up. Listened to the Green Album and Live more times than I can count.

Going to add some songs by one of my favourite bands, Five Iron Frenzy, which I posted in the other thread. Although they have mostly moved away from more traditional 3rd wave ska, they have one song on their most recent album "Engine of a Million Plots" that's more of a traditional ska/reggae song:

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones released a song from their upcoming album that comes out June 15th. Song is called Wonderful Day for the Race.


Probably should have mentioned this weeks ago, but Melbourne Ska Orchestra has been putting a song out every week for the year. It's all cover songs and they seem to have a theme change every 3 months. First three months was classic ska songs and this block is TV/Movie theme songs such as Star Wars, Dr. Who, Game of Thrones, Family Guy and more.

They also have a Spotify playlist that they update every week. Check it out.

Sorrow was such a weird choice for Mad Caddies to cover, but I dig it.

Bosstones were awesome in concert (as were Caddies and the Interrupters) a couple weeks ago at Camp Punk in Drublic.

Even got to hear Rancid dig into "And Out Come the Wolves" for some classic ska/punk.

FYI, new album "Fight the Good Fight" from The Interrupters is out today. Some real good stuff there. Out on Spotify. Even has a new collab with Rancid on it.

She's Kerosene is a great song and it's nice to see The interrupters doing well.

I know they don't play ska anymore, but The Aquabats have a kickstarter for a new album and new episodes for their TV show that some people might be interested in checking out.

They still play ska, though it is fair to say that they don't make new ska.

Kill Lincoln just put out a re-release of their Good Riddance to Good Advice record on vinyl with a completely new b-side. It's really, really good.
