Unsteady - "Kalinda" SKAuthentic 1996 Third Wave Ska / Ska Revival

A lot of ska gets a bad rap—as it should—but when the goofiness gets stripped out of it, you can be left with some pretty sweet grooves. And this mid-90s tune from San Diego's Unsteady is a good example. "Kalinda" appears on both the band's second album, Tightrope, as well as a comp called SKAuthentic, which gathered together a bunch of songs from modern bands who were channeling and reviving ska's original mid-60s Jamaican wave.

why is party at ground zero such a banger like fr

#i have an ask that i have a drafted answer to that is asking me what my favorite 2nd wave song is #and i don't have an answer that sounds cool or educated because honestly? #as much work as i do on 2nd wave i still listen to a lot of the 3rd wave stuff #and a LOT of 4th wave #like i feel like. so basic #ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THERE WAS THIS SONG THAT I THOUGHT CAME OUT IN 1979 CALLED “CHARACTER CHANGE” THAT ACTUALLY CAME OUT IN 2020 #LIKE WHAT #that was my favorite ska song for a while and im glad i wasnt asked that question earlier because i would have been #one hell of an unreliable source #anyway thank you fishbone i owe you my life <3 #ska #3rd wave ska #orange county ska #fishbone #ska music

Extremely extremely heartbroken to hear about the passing of Gregory Lee, lead vocalist for Hepcat. I still remember the first time I ever heard them, it was love at first song. While I never got to see them perform live, I have watched this video to put an instant smile on my face. Gregory's smile and voice is like chicken soup for the soul. Here's to you Gregory, thanks for making us smile.

#hepcat #ska #gregory lee #watching this and seeing him dance #makes me think about his interview in the 3rd wave documentary #and he talked about going on tour in the midwest iirc. and no one was dancing at their shows #and when he brought it up to someone outside the group they were like. these kids just dont know How to dance to it #so gregory and alex the other vocalist started doing dances on stage to show people how they could dance to it #and it worked #and that feels like the spirit of hepcat to me #that original ska sound done right #and i cant wait is like. my absolute favorite of theirs #Youtube

[t3tr0m1n0]

the album too much pressure by the selecters was a masterwork in ska. through something that couldn't have been less than magic, it pulled together just about everything people think of when it comes to ska: a laid-back, reggae sound; upbeat, cheery grooves that pick up your mood for sure; black & white two-tones of quickly moving guitar beats vs comfortable grooves; all working perfectly to harmonize the ska tropes of the 80s with those of the previous wave. every song on this album is distinct from the others, making it a great thing to listen to all in one sitting, trust me. the lyrics contained humor as well as politics, and were delivered with great emphasis & variety. and no matter how hard i try i don't think i'm going to convey just how well arranged all these songs were, with bountifully dense textures & a really good selection of moods on display. it's not on the scale of overwhelming a casual listener, or perhaps putting off those who look down on art pop & the like, it's just a full course meal's worth of rhythm, harmony, & melody. this album should be listened to by anyone, just because of its range within the subject of ska, & as a good little landmark in the genre's history

#it didn't even have any notable brassiness- this was definitely a pre-3rd wave ska album #also sprach #music reviewssic #mannn i should have more to say i should've started writing from the start of when i heard this album

hey punk

I've been interested in the topic of what punks listen to other then punk rock(tm) (punk genres that are punk entirely/punk first ie street, oi, crust, uk82, anarcho, etc) so if you could read this and rebolg with your answer that would be cool

im not doing a poll because (i figured out real quick) theirs a lot of genres and sub genres that are not punk rock (shocking) and i didn't want to shove super different sound into one space (such as the "tough guy" hardcore of a hatebreed with the straight edge youth crew hardcore of a youth of today into one box but i didn't want to make a 10 million checkbox long poll, and i didn't want to leave stuff like hip hop,electronic,folk,metal, etc off the list and have it just be the stereotypical non punk music punks listen too

so ill just explain what i mean when i say a "non punk" genres. this could go from the aforementioned hardcore ranging from pg 99 emotional hardcore to the beating vegan edge of earth crisis. gabber, brakecore, house. hiphop... 2000s mall emo... 3rd wave ska... what ever type of pop you want to call girl in red. basically as stated any thing that is not a core capital P Punk rock (tm) genre. i would also love some of the band you like in particular ( and as examples). and if you can't exactly put a real name on it you can just put a fake name on it ( agin with band as examples) such as like 90s mall goth (marilyn manson), anime fan brakecore(goreshit), 2000s pop emo (paramore)

more rambles in my note as this is already too long

#i would also love for yall to put like more then one genre #like if you wan to put every niche emo and scremo you like go off #name every type of odd furry gabber with brake beats dj you like #please go on as much as you like #make a name for that specific type of folk music you like #“weed smoker 60 revival rock of the 2000s” like go wild

Today’s compilation:

N.Y. Beat! Hit & Run 1986 Third Wave Ska / 2 Tone

Alright, well, in order to properly contextualize this album, I need to do a very quick and dirty rundown of the history of ska as a whole, so here goes:

Ska originated in Jamaica in the 60s as a precursor to reggae. It's defined by the skank—the repetitive single note or chord that hits on every other beat that creates the music's unique rhythm. A great original ska band to check out is The Skatalites.

Starting in the late 70s, ska underwent a very popular second wave in the UK known as 2 tone, which adopted its name from a record label that ended up popularizing four very important bands to the movement: The Selecter, The Specials, Bad Manners, and Madness. It was a working class scene that promoted racial unity and its songs were typically more uptempo and sharper-edged.

Then, in the late 80s, the term ‘third wave ska’ was coined in the US to describe a new crop of bands, like No Doubt and Sublime, who were pairing the music with contemporary punk rock.

But between that second UK wave and the application of the third wave label, there were also a bunch of US bands in the 80s who drew deep influence from the 2 tone acts overseas. And that's largely what this compilation is concerned with; specifically, a ska scene from mid-80s New York. Retroactively, I think these bands are usually classified as third wave since they're not from the UK 2 tone scene, but the bulk of them played a 2 tone-type sound.

And you can't talk about a budding 80s New York ska scene without mentioning The Toasters. Out of all the bands on this record, they seem to be the ones who had the most complete sound. They kick off the album with a sweet and mostly instrumental foray into spy music motifs, even reproducing the James Bond theme towards the end, and then later on, they deliver "Shocker!," which, along with a typical ska setup, comes with a keyboard using a recorder preset, hand drums, and female backing vocals. It's swell!

Another thing that's cool about this record is that a few of the songs depart from the 2 tone sound and go off in their own directions, blending ska with punk, which showed a sign of things to come, or playing new wavey synths along with ska. I'm not in love with how any of these particular experiments sound themselves, but they’re still intriguing to hear.

Also, there's a couple tracks towards the end, "Brighter Days" by The Boilers, which contrasts a very deep and active bass with both a softly ringing guitar and another guitar that maintains the skank, and "Free South Africa" by Too True—the only song the band appears to have ever put out—that goes on an extended and slow reggae-groove detour as it sings about the evils of South African apartheid. Both are pretty cool, musically, but be forewarned, both of these bands' white lead vocalists sing in a very cringeworthy, hasn't-aged-well-at-all pseudo-Jamaican patois 😬.

A neat little document of mid-80s New York ska that's caught between the UK's 2 tone second wave and the US' third wave. Pretty cool stuff 😎.

Highlights:

The Toasters - "Matt Davis" The Toasters - "Shocker!" The Boilers - "Brighter Days" Too True - "Free South Africa"

Cool news from across the Big Pond! US 3rd wave ska/pop legends No Doubt have announced that they will be reuniting to headline the 2024 Coachella Festival in April! The Californian desert based event will also feature appearances by 2 other legends of the US 3rd wave ska/punk scene, The Aquabats! & Sublime (featuring Bradley Nowell’s son Jakob on vocals). This will No Doubt’s first live show together in almost a decade.

the 2 biggest problems w being a ska fan are people asking if anything with horns is ska and the mozzarella stick meme

#like i get it #when i was like solely listening to 3rd wave ska punk and nothing else i was guilty of these #but now I know too much about ska and need to try and share my knowledge #which means if someone shows me a distinctly non ska band asking if its ska i need to rec the closest ska thing to it #but ugh #the horn thing gets me more than the mozz sticks #i think its funnier coming from someone who has a good grasp on what the genre is #and not someone who has no clue and hasnt put any sort of effort to at least learn the basics #its fiiiiiiiiine its fine #maybe im taking it too seriously but i also want people i like to also like ska #and not just see it as a big joke
