Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra

Song:

They combine a mixture of Ska, Jazz and the Blues. Quite possibly my favorite Ska band ever, they have over 13 records and counting.


Choking Victim

In My Grave

They're an eclectic mix of Ska, Punk and hints of Metal. They only ever put out one album, and later went on to form the equally amazing band "Leftover Crack". Very catchy, and aggressive songs about our government, police and, or course, smoking crack, but all dripped in sarcasm.


The World/Inferno Friendship Society

Songs:

Only Anarchists are Pretty

Friend to the Friendless

Go With it Girl
http://media.putfile.com/The-WorldInferno-Friendship-Society---Go-With-it-Girl


One of the most unique bands you'll ever hear, and one of the best/most fun. They're basically unclassifiable in terms of genre.


Against Me!

Songs:

Sink.Florida.Sink

You Look Like I Need a Drink

Baby, I'm an Anarchist!

Cavalier Eternal
http://media.putfile.com/Against-Me---Cavalier-Eternal


This has always been my favorite band, as much as they have sold out to a major label. I just pretend they died in a plane accident before that. They started off as a completely acoustic Folk-Punk band, but went electric.


Defiance, Ohio

Song:

Chad's Favorite Song
http://media.putfile.com/Defiance-Ohio---Chads-Favorite-Song


Honest-to-God Folk-Punk, with amazing, relevant lyrics.


Leftover Crack

My 2nd favorite Ska band, and they play with a more traditional sound. This is closer to what traditional Ska was like, but with newer elements. Amazing.
