I hate to admit it, but these days, it's getting really hard to find good ska. Over are the third wave ska hey days of the 90s, and ska bands seem to be dropping left and right or releasing sub-par albums (*cough* Fluent In Stroll *cough*) , and I've got to admit, it makes me gravitate away and not really want to check out any ska releases anymore. However, every now and then a ska band comes
Philly ska band Ruder Than You have been at it for more than twenty years. Their hard work never brought them world fame, but a strong cult following has stayed with them. Their new album Creation Sounds kicks off with the instrumental pRaise HaVoC and comes with a tasty bass riff and jangling guitar that will appeal to Primus fans ending with a horns blast that segues into the ska party anthem Baby Tonight . A bit of jazz is thrown in for the title track Creation Sounds and then [...]
It's hard to believe that Philly ska/reggae legends Ruder Than You released their debut "Big Step" back in 1992 (that's 17 years... don't worry mathaphobes, we got your back).While it took a few live renditions of the songs to fully appreciate it, Big Step is a ska revivalist masterpiece.

I had a tough decision last night... I could go see Less Than Jake, who I haven't seen in years... or go see The Slackers who I saw a few months ago. After much debating with myself (I won), I decided to go see The Slackers, on the principle that Less Than Jake tickets were at a LiveNation venue... (Visit Page For Songs and Rest Of Article)
Genre mixing is a tricky business - difficult to do right but when it hits, the impact is twice as hard as those playing by the rules. Ruder Than You take ska and reggae sounds and trick it out with hip-hop and funk stylings, creating what could perhaps be most easily described as grimy street ska. The band slipped us a copy of their new EP God's Ghetto. We in turn slipped Ruder Than You's leader and founder Doug Dubrosky (tenor sax and vocals) 5 questions, which he was nice enough to return.

Ruder Than You , an underrated ska band from Philadelpia, are the first American act to get a CD deal on a reputed African music label. Their new EP God's Ghetto mixes ska with dub and a few strands of hiphop. Five tunes that go straight for your gut, with joyous sounding sax and trombone. For the verbally challenged - you can get "clean" versions of most of the tracks. Ruder Than You : Doug D: vocals and sax Freddie 3D: vocals and toasting Don: bass [...]
courtesy of JoyMoody Photography For those that don't know, Ruder Than You play old school ska-funk fusion mixed with some reggae. This Friday, they will be releasing a new EP entitled "God's Ghetto". Admittingly, while I am a big fan of Ruder Than You, I have been (very) behind with their releases, only owning their debut "Big Step", until now. As someone who is most familiar with "Big Step", listening to "God's Ghetto" [...]
