Some good old school Thrash/Death Metal that actually has riffs and not some idiot grunting and squealing over some non descript noise (yes Job For A Cowboy- I'm looking at you)

Most modern Ska still goes down the tired old Punk root with predictable riffs with the odd Ska line thrown in. This is back to the Trad. sound with Horns, multiple vocalists, a touch of Dub and a reverence to the scene that spawned them:

AA-Essential Entertainment. An E.P from a short lived Belgian Post Punk band who sadly never put out anything after this.

I put this lot down as just another run of the mill Ska Punk band but (apart from a couple of tracks) this is almost progressive Ska with many influences bubbling under and a distinct lack of creating by the numbers 3 minute crowd pleasing ditties.
