So, in the early ’90s I was always out and about on the streets of my hometown. I was going to a lot of shows and Ska became known to me. Not shit like, Reel Big Fish or what people in main stream America call “Ska”. It was bands like The Specials, Madness, The Selecter. I know that this is only second wave but it’s what got me searching for it. To this day Ska is my favorite music. It’s how I came in the company of Skinheads when I was a young teen. Ska can be amazingly happy or majorly depressing but it always got to my emotions. I have a tattoo around my belly button “Celebrate the Bullet” it’s a song by The Selecter. Pauline Black has the most amazing, soulful voice. I could not get over that song for a long time. “Fu Man chu” by Desmond Dekker, “One Cup of Coffee” by Bob Marley (before the reggae), all are just amazing songs. I love this genre of music. Here are a couple of videos I found that are pretty cool but don’t tell the whole story; they’re awesome anyway.

Yeah, me too, ska is what makes me now and I’m more into traditional ska, from Old Jamaica to the traditional revival bands like Hepcat, The Slackers, Stubborn All Stars, and I love when it comes ska if it meets porn, hope someday there’ll be ska porn site, I’m a bit tired of punk porn hahahah

My favorite is Two-tone but I love quite a bit of first wave. Hepcat is the only newer ska band that I can think of that I like.

I like early Toots, later on it didn’t really get to me.
