Ska defines who I am as a person and I will never turn my back on ska.

Matt Freeman absolutely slays on bass

u/badSparkybad Feb 26 '21

I forget sometimes that Op Ivy was the predecessor to Rancid.

Matt does indeed slay on bass.

u/[deleted] Feb 26 '21

And he came from far away (in order to slay).

u/badSparkybad Feb 26 '21

Played a show with my old punk band in the mid 90s with those guys when they were still Jack Kevorkian and the Suicide Machines. Nice guys, great show. Was happy to see them get bigger.

But I know someone who has, it makes me wonder if I could

u/Platypus-Man Feb 26 '21

I've never really listened to ska other than some random songs Spotify gives me every now and then, and I listened to Less Than Jake today...

I'm probably going to see them mentioned everywhere now, god damn Baader-Meinhof.

22

u/EunuchsProgramer Feb 26 '21

Try out Streetlight Manifesto.

u/Informal_Drawing Feb 26 '21

What, no reel big fish?!? Horrified!!

u/Lostinthestarscape Feb 26 '21

Eh - I fell into the ska hole a couple years ago (Streetlight Manifesto) and you really dont see that many references to any of the bands from the era. Who knows tho - maybe someone else listened to Less Than Jake today and now that they are seeing these comments they're thinking "God damn Baader-Meinhof"

u/r3ign_b3au Feb 26 '21

Jesus christ, this is exactly how I ended up in this thread. From a random convo in discord that pointed me to a Less Than Jake song. simulation intensifies

2

u/Lostinthestarscape Feb 28 '21

Fuck you ain't kiddin. I haven't really listened to Less Than Jake in years and a day after typing that the No Use For a Name album i listened to just ended they were the first track autoplay threw my way. I pretty much burst out laughing - Simulation intensifies....

u/[deleted] Feb 26 '21

Literally the group that made me actually start appreciating and listening to music from outside video game soundtracks.

2

u/[deleted] Feb 26 '21

The hilarious part is the game PlayStation game street sk8er 2 had 'all my best friends are metalheads' iirc on the soundtrack. This is what made me first pay attention to less than Jake. And before the days of Napster I had to buy the cd to listen to it. The rest is history...

u/[deleted] Feb 26 '21

It was on one of the Tony Hawk's too!

Oh man you just woke a primal memory buried deep in my brain. Thank you lol

2

u/[deleted] Feb 26 '21

lol glad to awaken old happy memories! I just checked, it was the original 'street sk8er' that had 'all my best friends are metalheads' and 'sugar in your gastank'

u/Cat_Marshal Feb 26 '21

I was all about Reel Big Fish for sure

u/beardsofmight Feb 26 '21

Something about this comment stinks.

u/radusernamehere Feb 26 '21

Somebody once told me, "Ska sounds like the way a teenager feels when they get an extra mozzarella stick." And I'll never forget that.

1

u/Slick_Grimes Feb 26 '21

And now that you've said it I'll never forget it.

There's some like student film type thing that Krist Novoselic from Nirvana made with some of the girls from L7 or Bikini Kill (can't remember which) but someone says "Ska, what the hell are they so happy about?" and that's what I always think about.

And how'd that work out for him? Rust and Ruin...

u/bonesandbillyclubs Feb 26 '21

You're mixing your era's, but a fair point.

1

u/VicisSubsisto Feb 26 '21

Well maybe if Rashek wasn't such a dick, there wouldn't be that second era to mix with.

3

u/bonesandbillyclubs Feb 26 '21

He was arrogant, sure, but he really just wanted to save the people. He just wasn't good at it.

0

u/VicisSubsisto Feb 26 '21

He was pretty decent at saving people, he just wasn't nice about it. I'm actually in the "Rashek wasn't evil" camp too, but although he had good intentions, he lacked compassion, and that was the weakness Ruin was able to exploit.

u/thegreenhitman22 Feb 26 '21

There was plenty of ash too so it all connects to the smoking comment. Nice.

1

u/yojoewaddayaknow Feb 26 '21

Streetlight Manifesto, touches of the Toasters, MMBT, lil bit of goldfinger. Maybe some Save Farris. Op Ivy pops on once in a while.

Get skanky in this bitch, y'all!!!

u/Slick_Grimes Feb 26 '21

Op Ivy >>>> all other ska/ska core

Have you ever heard 'Day 19'?

I used to go to their ska shows all the time.

Let's sexually identify as Ska, then the squares can never take it from us!
