Ska

I love ska. I lean more towards ska-punk and skacore because they're more upbeat, but all ska is good. The very first ska song I heard was back in 2000 when my friend Chris let me borrow the Digimon Movie Soundtrack with the songs "All My Best Friends Are Metal Heads" by Less Than Jake and "The Impression That I Get" by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. Shortly after that I also heard "Superman" by Goldfinger on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.

Since then, I haven't really come a long way from my ska bands. Over the years I've gotten into Ska-P, Senor Flavio, Nomades & Skaetera, They Might Be Giants, Ska Daddies, Reel Big Fish, Madness and Panteon Rococo, but that's really about it. Those are the only ska bands I've gotten into in the past twelve years (kinda sad when you think about it).

So today I kinda just spent all day looking for new ska-punk and skacore bands to get into. Now, while I did find a lot that I really liked, one stands above all and I am completely dedicating this post to them because they're fucking awesome. The band is called Oreskaband. They're an all female ska band from Japan. Way too fucking awesome. Check em out and just enjoy the music.
