Where's my fellow Streetlight Manifesto fans at? That's the good shit right there. Beautifully written songs played by incredibly talented musicians.
And yes, technically they're not ska and Tomas Kalnoky will tell you as such, but they might as well be. Especially in the earlier albums.
-
Not sure. It's hard to spot them. I just get dizzy when I think of all the ways they're trying to hide their maladies.
-
There was a major line-up here a few weeks ago: Planet Smashers, Streetlight Manifesto and The Interrupters.
Crazy good show. If only for memories
-
-
Love a bit of Streetlight but the release of Keasby Nights as Catch 22 was better IMO
-
I was just looking for Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution last week, and was very confused when I found Streetlight with the same songs, but way faster than I remembered. I knew Bandits was the guys from Catch 22, but I never knew of Streetlight Manifesto, or don't remember being aware.
-
Tomas would tell you if he ever talked. I once spoke with one of the bands they toured with. He said that in 6 months he'd heard him say maybe 6 words. Dude shows up to sound check then vanishes into the city until curtains.
-
There's a new album coming out this fall, three tracks were already released.
And honestly even if it gets delayed, what's another 6 months at this point
-
Streetlight albums never release on schedule, so I'm sure we'll be waiting a while yet lol. But one thing's for sure, whenever it does come out it's going to be fucking magical. Streetlight never disappoints when they do eventually deliver.

As a ska enthusiast myself, I wish I could say this isn't absolutely true.

I mean, who doesn't like mozzarella sticks and marinara tho? Nobody.

Pick it up. Pick it up. Pick it up!

I am in the meme

There are ska bands in the meme, so you're in good company.

Ska generally means 3rd wave, and Ive no idea how those first two waves really releate to 3rd wave, but yea punk and reggae are like very different siblings of the same family.
But yea black and white checkered vans, skanking, all that stuff. Its just punk rock with a horn section. And yea, some is more pop/mainstream than other, but its the same with punk or any genre thats been around for more than 15 minutes.
Dont get me wrond, the joke is still accurate.
-
Aren't you describing ska-punk? I thought ska was a spinoff of reggae. (It sure sounds like reggae to my ignorant ears.)
-
Reggae is a spinoff of the original ska, which itself is a very Caribbean style coming from Calypso and jumpblues. Look for Desmond Dekker or Toots & the Maytals for some typical examples.
Today's ska is closer to punk rock with a sprinkle of horns.
-
What you are calling ska punk, old heads used to tell me thats 3rd wave ska. The reggae spin off, they claimed, was 1st and 2nd wave. I dont know for sure, and Iv seen contradicting things online since. I never really got it.
-
Reggae comes from Ska as I recall. The Wailer’s early work is Ska.
-
Yeah, and that's slightly different than dubstep-ska. That's where you drop the beat then pick it up, pick it up, pick it up.

The relate via Two-Tone
-
You don't see how? It takes the horns and basic upstroke pattern and speeds it up like tenfold.
This song is a bit more 2nd wave.
-
-
The fact that people only know third wave ska makes me sad. There’s so much more to it.

I don't know which wave Madness is, I know it's before pop ska, and it fucking rocks.
-
Don’t gatekeep, spread the more! Be the change you want to see.
-
I grew up with third wave ska, but can't really get into second and first wave.
I like the speed of thirdwave ska that doesn't seem to be there from previous waves.
-
Eh, 1st and 2nd wave ska is cool to chill with, I also like some reggae as well. Both are more background music than the main event though.
3rd wave is great for getting pumped, and I actually like ska punk more as in The Interrupters or Rancid.
-
-
I don't know where English Beat falls in that, but there's definitely some good skanking at their shows.
-
Ska peaked with Skibidi tbh.
-
-
I also want to tear the system down when I see what capitalism in the US did to mozzarella
-
In Europe we have laws against that sort of shite. Having met one of the people doing the controlling, I gotta say it's kinda nice to know there are true believers fighting to keep our food good.

The best Ska song is still “Ska Sucks” by Propagandi.
-
Haven't listened to that since radio wazee was a thing. I know they had other streams but I probably listened to their Punk stream more than anything else. I miss a lot of the old traditional streaming radio websites. Used to be my favorite way of discovering new music. Winamp's library window had a built-in stream list, probably populated by anyone running their Shoutcast server, that made "stations" easy to find). I think Digitally Imported and SomaFM are probably two of longest running web radio stations that are still going. So many others have disappeared over the years.

People need to spend more time on !ska@lemmy.blahaj.zone ... third- and second- wave ska is ok, but there's nothing quite like first-wave...
-
No reason to stop at first wave. Keep going further back to mento!

Will do. Thanks much.

This also explains the hypeman constantly hopping around.
Channeling that cheesey excitement.
-
Third Wave is skankalicious. I have a comp called Skankaholics Unanimous, it's gotta ve my all-time fave album of Ska. Seriously get a copy from Discogs.com if you can. Buford O'Sullivan "I Gotta Do It Someday" is the closing song, man do I love it.
-
First time I heard ska must've been playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2. Goldfinger - Superman.
-
I remember asking a friend what genre The Impression That I Get was.
-
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 had Suicide Machines - "New Girl" and man is it still good.
-
-
One of the better jokes in Renfield.
-
Bet my money on a stupid horse, I lost that
-
This is ska?
-
-
First notes of Ever knock on wood song, all I can picture.. kids wildin out.. sound right
-
I love that this turned into a broader discussion of ska. How about some Ghost Town? https://youtu.be/LrZAtp157KI
This isn't funny and I'll tell you why. Have you ever been close to tragedy? Or been close to folks who have? Have you ever felt a pain so powerful, so heavy you collapse? No? Well, I've never had to knock on wood, but I know someone who has. Which makes me wonder if I could. It makes me wonder if I've never had to knock on wood, and I'm glad I haven't yet. Because I'm sure it isn't good. That's the impression that I get.
I see you like gambling on upvotes or downvotes. From me, you get an upvote!
You know, I think we'll be good friends. I say, let's have ourselves a beer.
I said, Don't you drink that bear tonight. She said, but I can't work in fast food all my life.
Bravo sir.
Should have read before posting same song. Great minds wired alike
Yes agreed. Don't Speak, I say. I know just what you're saying, so please stop explaining.
