  1. The Sickness was one of my favorite albums back in the day. I never listened to all of their second CD but the new track (Stricken) sounds awesome. I saw them when they toured with Chevelle and Taproot two years or so ago. I'll see them in a few weeks, too. Not even really my type of music. But I've always really liked them. I'll probably buy Ten Thousand Fists when it comes out.

  2. My favorite would have to be Bob and the Sagets playing with Big D and the Kids Table and Mustard Plug. I came home absolutely DRENCHED in sweat. It was a skankin' good time for everyone there. Not just the best ska show, but the best show I've ever seen (besides Badfish. but that doesn't count because nothing will ever, ever, beat that.)

  4. You definitely gotta listen to "Here's to Life" by Streetlight, it's a masterpiece.

    Whoo, where exactly do you live? I'm on Long Island (until I leave for college in August), and there's a pretty good amount of local ska bands around here. We also get a lot of the NJ bands playing here pretty often, so it's pretty cool.

    And yeah, Big D is ridiculous. I saw them open for Streetlight last year, and they were great live.

    A few of my favorites:

    Catch 22 (Keasbey Nights is one of my favorite albums of all time)

    Reel Big Fish

    Rx Bandits

    Streetlight Manifesto

    The Arrogant Sons of Bitches (on hiatus :( )

    High School Football Heroes

    Bomb the Music Industry!

    Big D and the Kids Table

    The Superspecs

    I Voted For Kodos

    And a load more locals, etc. Hopefully we can get a good multi-person discussion going here, that'd be cool.

  5. Anything off of Everything Goes Numb. It's a great album. Streetlight Manifesto are awesome. But I'd say if you just wanted to hear a few songs, try and find "Here's to Life", "We Are Few", "Point/Counterpoint", "Everything Went Numb" and "Failing, Flailing". Those are my favorites.

    Check out Big D and the Kids Table, too. :-D

  6. WHOOOOOOO! Ska <3333

    The ska scene is pretty sick around here. The best band around here is probably a band called Bob and the Sagets. I could link you to their myspace. We have a nice mix of local ska bands around here. And TONS of the groups with deals and stuff come to the Cafe Metro (Wilkes-Barre, not LA!). Big D and the Kids Table are like, ska legends around here. Same with Bigwig.

    Anyway, yeah. GO SKA.

    Bob and the Sagets myspace. Listen to them!

  7. Don't Push

    Ball and Chain

    Seed

    Same in the End

    Santeria (gotta use the hits)

    Greatest Hits

    The Ballad of Johnny Butt

    Garden Grove

    Caress Me Down

    Badfish

    What I Got

    Pawn Shop

    40 Oz. To Freedom

    Saw Red

    Summertime

    Pool Shark

    In that order.

  8. Badfish fucking owned every show ever. And that's fuckin' saying something. They are like carbon copies of Sublime. They do it so well. Normally I don't like cover bands but they blew me away. Best show ever.

    I probably a little bit biased though consdering Sublime being my favorite band ever.

  9. Yeah but that really gives me an idea of what the genre is like and it's really just not my cup of tea. I really just not a fan of dance music. It's cool that you dig it and I'm sure there are a lot of other people out there who also enjoy it but it's definately not something I would enjoy. I'm sure I'll end up hearing more of it eventually (I live in the projects. A lot of hispanics who listen to latin music). But I'm not going to go out of my way to look for some.

  10. Considering a lot of people on this board are heavily into music, I figure we could use a thread to discuss what shows we're looking forward to in the very near future or what shows we've been to in the past couple of weeks.

    Also, feel free to use this thread as a promotion tool for a show in your area if you know a couple of members might live in the same area as you and they perhaps might be interested in going.

    Anyway. I'm going to see Badfish (a very good Sublime tribute/cover band) tomorrow night. Strike Anywhere with the Ratchets and Let It Burn (Chunksaah Records) is playing at a different venue on Wednesday (I think it's Wednesday). I'm definately going but I've never heard their music (Strike Anywhere's music that is. I've heard the other two bands and they're quite good. :wub: )

    I'm also considering traveling for about 2 hours with some friends on Saturday to an all day punk/psychobilly festival/show. Not too sure if I really want to considering I'm not really into psychobilly all that much.

    Anyway, discuss.

    (Mods, make official if you want.)

  11. All I've heard off of that mix is Dillinger Escape Plan and Thursday. Not really a fan of Thursday but Dillinger Escape Plan are unreal.

    Rise Against - The First Drop

    Rage Against the Machine - In My Eyes

    Minor Threat - In My Eyes (I wouldn't feel right if I didn't.)

    Tiger Army - Power of Moonlite

    The Killers - Jenny Was A Friend of Mine

    The Code - Battle On (This band are incredible. If you like punk and don't know them, check it out. Most of you probably do, though)

    Big D and the Kids Tables - L.A.X

    The Offspring - What Happened To You

    Dropkick Murphys - Rocky Road to Dublin

    Bigger Thomas - Ska In My Pocket

    Agnostic Front - Peace

    Evergreen Terrace - The Kids Aren't Alright

    Sublime - Seed

    Sublime - The Ballad of Johnny Butt

    As Hope Dies - Letters of our Existence

    Bayside - Masterpiece

    Jack Johnson - Badfish (Sublime cover)

    Mostly random ass songs I love.

  12. I heard Danzig was an asshole too. But when you consume live babies and you're built like SOMETHING LARGE you can be like that.

    Should have gone for Exploited, ICW. Even if there was no Misfits.
