I've recently learned to love this album. Most songs aren't ska, but you just have to embrace the poppy goodness. The lyrics are so generic it's great.

Also, does anybody know if Ska-P is dead or not? I'd love to see them live.

They really got the crowd going. I noticed that Tomas introduced Mephisto's Café as "this song is about Scientology". What's up with that? RBF were great as ever. Their new record has some excellent live tracks. Especially Party Down and Another Day In Paradise.

I almost forgot, I've been enjoying this band I found through one of the other Myspace links in this thread. I love the video they made.

Josh Wow posted:Depends on where you see em: Groezrock is mostly a punk/hardcore festival, but the one or two ska bands they book are usually very well received. I saw the Mad Caddies there in 07 and it was one the greatest shows I've ever seen. It was the hottest time of the day and we were standing in a tent, but everybody was just going crazy.

I like the classics as much as the next guy, but is there anything new and interesting going on in ska? I haven't really paid close attention to the genre for the last couple of years.

ObsidianBeast posted:Not sure if you meant new directions for the whole genre, or just new ska bands, but Kill Lincoln is "new", first album came out in 2011 and then had another last year: http://killlincolndc.bandcamp.com/ Mostly the former, but this doesn't sound bad at all. Thanks!
