Perla a ritmo ska nel cast di Rock in Idrho 2012 che annuncia il nome degli Specials . Riconosciuta tra i massimi esponenti dello Ska insieme ai Madness , la storica band di "A message to you Ruby" sarà a Milano il 21 luglio per un concerto all'insegna del puro divertimento, nella line up del festival che vede i Rancid come headliner della giornata. Annunciato oggi anche l'apertura delle prevendite, fissata per venerdì 10 febbraio alle ore 10 attraverso i canali abituali, e di cui verrano [...]
The name may well ring a bell. That's most probably due to Missing Andy's success on Sky 1's "Must Be The Music" last year. Or it could simply be because you've been listening out for the rare Top 40 hit that isn't simply a big name performing atop a shallow dance beat, but is instead music made and crafted, attempting to convey some sort of message. In the band's own words "No one is speaking up for our generation." Vigilantism was however set aside for the support acts, the notable, and local, Tales Of George most definitely ensured [...]
Imperial Leisure Death To The One Trick Pony Steamroller Ltd 26 March 2012 by Tom Doyle It's funny how sometimes one bands breakthrough into the relative mainstream can remind everyone of something that was always good but that has simply fallen out of fashion. The King Blues rise and rise has thrown a fresh light onto the UK's ska punk scene and kids are once again digging out their parents old Trojan Records box sets and embracing the brass. That can [...]

Fly On The Wall is our pick of the best Indian indie live videos posted by bands, fans, and flies on the wall. The Ska Vengers by Bring Home Stories The Ska Vengers have been making waves over the past two years by bringing some very new music to the Indian indie scene (download a skalicious tune of theirs here ). Bring Home Stories has made a webisode about this New Delhi ska band which tells us about the members of the band, their inspirations, [...]
"Picking up from where volume 1 left off, Ska Madness 2 takes you further into late 70`s and early 80`s Two Tone Ska, Rocksteady and Reggae explosion. It features tracks which influenced the original bands and dominated dancefloors at the time. Time to get ready to do rocksteady, again". Comprehensive collection of foot tapping Ska compiled by Rhoda Dakar (The Bodysnatchers & The Special AKA). Tracks that influenced a massive UK revival in the form of Two-Tone, a style of music to calm racial indifference and reinforce inner city bonds. It`s easy to pick the old [...]
THE AGGROLITES Rugged Road Young Cub Records Sure, the Aggrolites have recently been Tim Armstrong's backing band. The Aggrolites have played the fucking Warped Tour, repeatedly . I would never even have given this band the time of day had they not sent us a really beautiful red vinyl 12". And that would have been a shame, because during those moments when I've had a glass of scotch and am at my most receptive, I feel like Rugged Road by the Aggrolites is the finest modern piece [...]
Yeah. you might have thought that with Coachella doubling up on their event in 2012, by having the exact same show two weekends in a row, might mean that you had some time to figure out if you could make the show. If you thought that, you would be screwed. I knew better, and waited online to buy my tickets right at 10am when they went for sale. It's probably not good form to brag that we have tickets when you don't. I bet you have been to the festival before. This is our [...]
Spencer Dunham of the Allah-Las sent over a mix of old reggae joints last night. He culled the selection from overlooked and forgotten vinyl records he discovered while working at Amoeba. I'm a huge fan of the loose and jazzy vibe of old ska and soul-brushed reggae—see posts on Slim Smith , The Skatalites , and Justin Hinds —and the Allah-Las' Catamaran 7" was Everybody Taste's pick for best vinyl single of 2011 , so yes, you might say this is a bit up my alley. Here's a few words on the compilation from Dunham: [...]
New Delhi ska band, The Ska Vengers have announced that they will be launching their debut album in February (the exact dates have not been released yet). The band has been recording the album over the last 15 months and it is produced by the experienced Miti Adhikari (who has worked as a producer on albums for menwhopause , The Supersonics and Them Clones , not to mention dozens of huge international acts such as Nirvana, Coldplay and Radiohead just to name a few). We spoke to the band's guitarist Raghav 'Diggy' Dang (who is also [...]
Every now and then I like to dig into the library and pull out some reggae essentials. Today's unforgettable track dates back to 1998 when Rancid punkers Tim Armstrong and Lars Frederiksen enlisted some reggae special forces to join them on a new album to be recorded in Jamaica. The album Life Won't Wait crossed some serious punk boundaries adopting new sounds from reggae, dub, and funk. The track I'm bringing you today is the title track Life Won't Wait and it features reggae superstar Buju Banton and [...]

Recently dropped via the label Collective Sounds , here's a track from a new covers EP spearheaded by reggae legend Jimmy Cliff. The EP's title is Sacred Fire , and the track featured above was, of course, penned by Mr. Bob Dylan. From what I understand, this EP is the first thing the guy has dropped since '04, and it's teasing toward a full-length album titled Existence that should be out sometime this year.
We got some of our favourite Indian artists to give us unreleased tracks that we could give away to our readers as free downloads for Christmas. It's the season of giving, and this is what's Under The Christmas Tree . The Sk a Vengers are giving away their new tune, 'Mr Big Stuff'. Keyboardist and backing vocals for The Ska Vengers, Stefan Kaye tells us a little bit about the song. 'Mr Big Stuff', originally recorded in 1971 by soul singer Jean Knight, [...]

Played this nice ska disco funk remix of Edwin Starr's 25 Miles last week at a private party in Columbus Circle.
Niente di meglio che un po' di sano, gustoso ska suonato con impertinenza punk e attitudine rock, per superare indenni i lunghi mesi invernali. E i Bosstones , in questo, non tradiscono mai. Tornati in forma smagliante dopo le pause e i ritorni dei primi anni zero, stavolta sembrano qui per restare. La furiosa orgia di fiati ed energia di "The Daylights" alza il sipario su "The Magic Of Youth", prova inconfutabile che gli instancabili bostoniani stanno vivendo la loro seconda giovinezza a tutto gas. Il singolo "Like A Shotgun" che, in puro stile Rancid [...]
In a new video interview, Fishbone 's Angelo Moore and Norwood Fisher took a moment to talk about the controversial episode of Jimmy Fallon's show where The Roots chose to perform their song, "Lyin' Ass Bitch." The two members also discuss the recent documentary about their career, Everyday Sunshine and their new album, Crazy Glue .
This one is mainly a warm-up mix in black and white (hence the title and artwork), presenting contemporary and international mento, ska, reggae and dub with young blood and legends. Lee Scratch Perry's got the final and mystic word with his under-exposed last release Rise Again (superbly crafted by Bill Laswell, with Steven Bernstein on trumpet and Bernie Worrell on keys), a title which sounds like a symbol of his great renaissance. But it could also fit The Jolly Boys Great Expectation comeback, a band christened by hellraiser Errol Flynnhimself while he was living in Jamaica. [...]
Si intitola "Des - Canta Claus" il cd natalizio degli Ska - J . La formazione lagunare dopo nove anni di successi con sette album all'attivo e numerose partecipazioni a festival jazz, reggae, programmi televisivi e radiofonici, ha deciso infatti di cimentarsi con i classici di Natale. Ne è nato il disco "Des - Canta Claus" (su Azzurra Music) con brani in dialetto veneziano, italiano, inglese nella formula strumentale che tanto si addice alla formazione ska-jazz che comprende voci, tre fiati, chitarra, tastiere, basso e batteria. Intanto gli Ska - J stanno lavorando al [...]
