New Millington song - they really have the pop punk with horns thing down:

 

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!

 

ne-ska-hn trees

 

Fun cover is fun! Catbite are fantastic (and underrated in the grand scheme of things).

 

what's the good ska

 

Abraskadabra
Bruce Lee Band
Catbite
Dissidente
Hans Gruber and the Die Hards
The Interrupters
JER
We Are the Union

 

adding all of them, thanks!

 

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

Bite Me Bambi with a great Offspring cover:

 

Listen to Poindexter's new indie-ska-punk song "Body Like That" off upcoming debut LP

 

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)

 

This works amazingly well:

 

Never expected the Brian Fallon / Ska worlds to collide, but here we are:

 

The Chris Gothard Show lmfao
