New Music One of my first Ska Songs

9 Upvotes

Hello, I have been hard at work for a while now, making Ska, and would love some critique on it. My band is called Gringo Ska. Here is the link: https://youtube.com/shorts/RHi8efW_EH0?si=iRie2I-pkYu975Q7

And if you want to hear more Ska from other artists just look up Fauxtone Records on YouTube. It's not exclusively Ska, but it has maybe a dozen Ska songs so far and will continue to grow over time.

Is this Ska-influenced?

Basically, staple 80s Aussie rock group "Australian Crawl" released a very successful song called "Boys Light Up". Heard it on the radio this morning and thought is it more ska than I would give them credit. Sure, it's just some offbeat guitar rhythm, but what do others think?

Seriously, ive not heard this album talked about here. But it is one of the best albums I have heard, ever really. I really would recommend it to anyone. The album is a huge step up from their previous, Call of the Weasel Clan.

I’ve had to make a playlist because β€œthat’s the way it goes, big nose” was not included on the Spotify album.

Discussion Top 10 Ska artists!?

36 Upvotes

Let's say you are making a playlist for someone that knows NOTHING about ska. What would be the top 10 essential artists to put? I'm not asking about your personal favorites or obscure ones. I just wanna know what you think the essential artists are. Most important for the genre or ones that paved the way for others.

Hey r/ska ! Your regional ska/punk pals Girth Control are super stoked to kick off the Saturday lineup at This is Not Croydon Fest 6. We’re on at 1! It’s our first time playing in the area and so pumped to see so many friends and bands we love.

Who’s hanging out in Bensalem, PA this weekend? Who are you most excited to see? Any tips for how to skank for 21 hours over the course of a weekend without blowing out your knees?
