Not a fan I'm afraid but I do like a bit of Rancid and the Mighty Bosstones. Apart from that it does nothing for me.

one of the first singles i bought, still a great song!
saw bad manners about 5 years ago in kilkenny, hearing lorraine and special brew live was great, although Buster Bloodvessel did look like he was about to have a heart attack at anytime!!!

I respect it more than I like it. Would you count Reel Big Fish as 'ska punk'? Only heard a few songs but I like them

Only heard a few songs but I like them i would yes, their cover of 'Monkey Man' and ska-cover of 'Another Day In Paradise' are fatastic, i'd put them in the same group as the other bands i mentioned.

Can't wait, would go to all of em if i could, shame but closest ones Sheffield and Brum i am on holiday, so will have to make do with Manchester, But if i were a betting man i would guess that home date if announced/ever comes to fruition will be at Ricoh Areana, they would fill that 30 times over

The Dead 60's were a fairly new band..formed this century some time and they're heavily influenced by the Specials and the Clash amongst others. They split up this year though. My favourite song by them: Ghostfaced Killer - uk.youtube.com/watch?v=iqcKZwoEQOA

Cheers mate...you looked at the video link I provided?
I'm only a young'un see so my ska knowledge doesn't stretch very far back at all but I do have a Specials greatest hits on my Ipod courtesy of my Dad's collection and I'm a huge fan of the Clash although I know their music varied from Punk to Reggae, Ska and even Rockabilly.
Love them even more for it!

My favourite song by them: Ghostfaced Killer - uk.youtube.com/watch?v=iqcKZwoEQOADead 60s, woo! Control This is my favourite. They released their second album in Asia I think, it had a release date here, but they kept putting it back..and then they split up
