Upbeat music. Ska punk counts as punk, its a fusion.Brad described it perfectly too lol. Happy sound. But may be opposite meaning. 😆

West Coast third wave ska in California back in the 80’s included the Untouchables down in LA, Let’s Go Bowling in Fresno, the Uptones, Fishbone, and Operation Ivy up in the Bay Area.

[@buzzbomb67]

Ah, Skunk (Ska/Punk)….third wave Ska was such fun! Basically kinda got started with Operation Ivy, the predecessor of Rancid, and bands like Sublime and No Doubt fell in quickly after, followed by what surely was thousands and thousands of other bands. Often very serious lyrics, but the music is so upbeat that its just impossible to not smile and move. Built upon the older ska and Reggae, like Madness, Skatalites and The Specials, mixed with punk/hardcore and Rockabilly … a lot of people hated it, mostly (I think) because it was hard to tell which of the thousands of bands you were listening to, but I loved it!

[@wadsworthred9940]

SKA became so regional and far too few great bands were ever known Coast to Coast. I live in Ohio so my go to's were Mustard Plug, Johnny Socko, and Gangster Fun butcthe west coast had Skankin Pickle, No Doubt ( before they got rid of their horns) and Sublime. So many great bands !!

[@buzzbomb67]

@@wadsworthred9940 I remember Mustard Plug, they were pretty good! I had just moved to Newport/Huntington Beach area in 93, just when No Doubt and Sublime were kinda taking off, and Vegas Records opened shop in HB, so I got a healthy dose of 3rd Wave, there. It was definitely more regional than Punk and Hardcore, but still, I saw Less Than Jake opening for Guttermouth and the Descendents so some of them got around a fair bit! Depends on their label and how much support they got. Most of the smaller labels couldnt afford to send bands on nationwide tours. Considering how regional it was, it sure took off all over!

Late 70s London punk had plenty of crossover with reggae & ska. A number of the key players grew up in neighborhoods around London that included a lot of West Indies immigrants, so they were exposed to that music. They shared a social/ political consciousness as well. Along with straight ska-revival groups (e.g. Madness, the Specials, the English Beat) you also had the Clash starting out straight punk, then doing a hard left turn toward ska & R&B influences from the *London Calling* LP onward. If you haven’t already, check out the Clash’s “Rudie Can’t Fail”, the English Beat’s “Mirror In The Bathroom”, and the Specials’ version of “A Message To You Rudy”. Bob Marley did a song called “Punky Reggae Party” that name-checked the Clash and the Damned.

In this episode of Brad & Lex, this 1995 "catchy" cut is dubbed "interesting" by the ever so analytical Brad who almost forgets to pause out of sheer wonderment which produces a steady "sway" as Lex chimes in placing the Berkeley, California band between Sublime and Iggy Pop before releasing her elated "bobble bops" with "peppy yelps", "ear clutches" "cheery claps", and "air drums".

But, there is one really powerful song that does the anti racism oi part called avenues and alleyways if you want to react to that! You will hear them say oi oi oi a lot in it because like I said they are oi punk aka anti racism! This was one of their lets get some sales songs. But avenues and alleyways are on that very same album because they wanted to still speak what they stood for as well!!!

Rancid is awesome. Maxwell Murder is my favorite hit, famous on Dave Mirra Pro BMX on Playstation 1

3 shots ring now there’s a new king in town. That’s why he’s a time bomb. Lol

The self titled album & “Lets Go” have a much more garage punk/ rockabilly punk feel. “St Mary” is a favorite song.

SKA!!! Finally!! Well…ska/punk…but this song is more ska than punk.

[@krash2fast99]

Firmly 3rd wave ska, with a punk flavor

The black coat is part of the Rudeboys attire. The song is about the ska scene Rudeboys.
