This is more new wave than ska, but it gives me big Aquabats vibes. it’s really good! The Eyes were a band from Australia. This was their only album, released in 1980. It’s not on streaming or anything, which is a bummer, but I think a lot of people in this thread will like it a lot!
Abraskadabra Bruce Lee Band Catbite Dissidente Hans Gruber and the Die Hards The Interrupters JER We Are the Union
They all put stuff out either this year or last. We Are the Union's album from last year is one of my favorites - it focuses on lead vocalist Reade Wolcott coming out as a trans woman, with a lot of the lyrics about her transition - and also features JER (also of Skatune Network) on horns and backing vocals. The Interrupters put out one of my favorite records of this year and Catbite's cover of Neon Trees' "Everybody Talks" is dope.
sick, thank you! someone mentioned one of my songs that's coming out has "ska vocals" and i've never really listened to ska outside of rancid lol so i wanted to check some out
every time i see this thread get bumped, i pray it's something Hippos related... haha i'm always let down.
BTR show in Seattle was a ton of fun. A little sad that like half the crowd left after WATU but that just meant more room to dance at catbite plus they covered everybody talks by neon trees and it was just… so much fun (WATU and Kill Lincoln were great too. But catbite is something special)
Didn’t realize they were rotating each night! Kinda wonder if a similar drop might happen (maybe not so big) for the other two bands when they play last. How long were the sets?
opener was 30. kill Lincoln and WATU both played around 40 minutes. Catbite was closer to 30 and yeah, apparently the three of them are rotating the order the band play each night. They did a running bit during the show about not knowing who was going to be up next (as long as you ignore the sign at the entrance that has the set times posted)
Millington's new EP 'Welcome Home' is fantastic! Check it out of you enjoy pop punk & ska listen here: https://t.co/cabhW1864s i also saw them play an hour set last night for their very first show in Chicago, it was nothing short of incredible! highly recommended if they come your way MILLINGTON
