I found this Ska Spotify playlist and it is pretty good and entirely too long (542 songs) - https://open.spotify.com/user/shadowfunk/playlist/6mRRGF4klfgUzbD2ZKOCq0

My friend just introduced me to a podcast called 23min of Ska. It's exactly what it sounds like. No intros, no commercials, just 23 minutes of back to back Ska.

A lot of the episodes feature new bands/songs, which is not a thing I thought was still happening.

Anyhow check it out if you want. https://radjose.wordpress.com/

Just in case anyone cares, I made a Spotify playlist of five tracks from every band mentioned in that Billboard article linked above.

Lots of good stuff in there based around the core 90s third-wave west-coast sound, but some older first and second-wave classics too plus lots of modern international bands that I’d never heard of. It’s a great Ska sampler playlist.

this is entirely too many songs, but it's also really cool so thanks for putting it together

I was at Jacob Riis Beach in Queens (NY) yesterday and there happened to be a ska band called Beat Brigade playing the entire day. I've never heard of them before but they were pretty good. That's my ska story for the year I guess.

Almost makes me regret paying $100 for my copy a few years ago. Actually, no it doesn't. This is my favorite record of all time and everyone should buy it.

Coincidentally I am listening to this album right now and can confirm that everyone should buy it.

100 Gecs just released a new album, 10,000 Gecs, and they leaned hard into the hyperska this time. Definitely recommend it, the same vibe as Eichlers' stuff.

i used to hate them so much but they're actually incredible

stupid horse, sympathy 4 the grinch, mememe, doritos & fritos, frog on the floor, i got my tooth removed. all great ska (or at least ska elements)

i thought stupid horse was an affront to ska when i first heard it but now I'm into it

As usual, ignore all of this unless or until you have a new record in your hands, but Tomas posted this indicating new Streetlight album late this year:

Much more detail in the post.

This got me very excited and I'm going to do my very best at forgetting I read it, as I fully expect the album to take another 2 years minimum to be released.
