I'm not a big fan at all of The Aquabats. find them very cartoony :(
This is still one of the best 3rd wave Ska tracks IMO: I'm only posting this as in the last hour I have been listening to Ska. |

Capdown does have a nice ska sound. The tune has a part that reminds me a little of the Batman theme! I like the "haa haa" or "aah aah" shouts. I also like Capdown's political lyrics, like with "Cousin Cleotis," but I had a hard time hearing distinct words in the video. I wish I could hear the words better so that the meaning of the song would leap out at me...I had to look at the lyrics to understand what the song was about. I was surprised that the song's sound is much happier and celebratory than the lyrics, which are about a fairly serious issue...a call to action. "Cousin Cleotis" lyrics: Together we can fly There ain't no reason why not Strike whilst the knives are hot Eyes like a vision of rage Seize the day, seize the moment Yes this very moment Cos the mountain of my anger, it ain't no longer dormant And this feelin' ain't just a feelin' no more Cos the frustration of my ignorant days, is just a haze Like a red eyed glazed gaze So don't just sit on your ass, dreamin' of the better day, better way Liberate yourself, your mind, mankind Take the feelin' that lies deep inside And make it reality" |

I've got a friend who's really into the aquabats and they're decent in small doses.
And I like Capdown as well, I think you may have actually sent me that album, jackhammer. Also do you really think Capdown could be considered third wave ska? Or is there not much of a difference between ska-punk and third wave ska? |

I always thought of ska-punk mostly just being the staccato-like guitar playing with fast punk tempos with use of horns here and there which makes Operation Ivy a great example again.
I always saw Less Than Jake as a ska-punk band but never really saw Reel Big Fish as much of a punk band. So if the Bosstones are the sole owners of the ska-core genre where would bands like Choking Victim, Leftover Crack, and Evil Empire fit in? Or do you see them as more hardcore punk than anything? |
