Someone on facebook said "Every ska band that formed after the 90s sucks" So I made a long thread of incredible bands that formed in the last 15 years, and a huge chunk (almost all if im not mistaken) of them released music in the last 5 years. Gonna copy the thread here!

it's honestly such a good mini-review thread i did on about 15 bands it needs to see the light of day and represented beyond a subthread on facebook

Self plug - We are the union was my all time favorite band before I joined, they always breathed new life to both the musical and especially lyrical content of the genre (and i think with self care, we continued to achieve that)

Los Skagaleros just formed a few years ago, has one EP right now, super dope Latinx band from south south texas right off the border of mexico! incredible people, incredible musicians, incredible songwriting!

omnigone! Previous guitarist of Link 80 (Adam Davis) Started this dope Ska-Punk/Hardcore Punk project, and just dropped their debut last year!

speaking of debut records, catbite debuted with their first self titled LP, and they're one of the fresh breaths of air, mixing this sweet rocksteady and 2-tone with the energy of punk and rock n roll, its SO TIGHT

@KillLincoln, the HEROES ska needs and deserves right now. Super fast paced ska punk with ripping horns. Best live ska set you'll probably ever see. Mike has been doing great work with this band AND with his label Bad Time Records

getting a little heavier in the vein of skacore, the Best Of The Worst has some of the most diverse and interesting songwriting ive seen in a ska punk band. they really maximize the many ways to incorporate heavier genres into ska.

@greymattermi bringing a breath of fresh air into ska. They are very chaotically into the vein of the "core" side of ska core, but still have these up beat energetic vibes mixed with the darker melodic sound of ska core. Best band people

ABRASKADABRA From BRAZIL is killing it! Super upbeat, super fun. Honestly their music just sounds like a really fun party in the best way!

Oreskaband! They've really taken all the sounds of the 2-tone era and mixed it with this j-pop songwriting to create some of the most upbeat ska ive heard without it sounding corny! Incredible musicianship, too!

Older than 2002, but this band is an exception, the Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra puts a breath of fresh air with every release in the genre, while also nailing every sound they to for from tradtional ska to ska punk. the perfect ska band.

Flying Raccoon Suit needs to be mentioned because they have this super interesting indie ska sound ive never heard before. clean horns, beautiful guitar tone, incredible singing! Waiting on a full length of this indie ska vibe!!!

our hero mike park's project (the bruce lee band) is old, but the current line up is honestly a new era because since jeff rosenstock has become the backing band, it has been one of the best third wave ska bands ever (imo, the best third wave ska band)

the skints! mixing punk rock with this trad ska/rocksteady/reggae vibe! as well as mixing lots of other styles like dancehall, dub, chiptune, god they're just pushing the boundaries and its incredible

S.M.N. Came to america last year and blew my mind at fest. Super fast skate punk that makes me wanna move. KILLING IT amongst all the other japanese ska bands

sian man records first ska band in over a decade, the abruptors really dropped this dope traditional ska-inspired ska record with the catchiest hooks! 10/10 makes me dance every time

ts 2009 and breakdowns in pop punk is cool! Now lets add horns on top of it! Easycore ska punk? Sounds like pizza and FUN! Sorry Sweetheart out of denver is scratching this itch for a very specific type of ska punk I never get!!

MATAMOSKA! Cant forget one of the many many many many MANY LA ska bands. The heavy Latinx scene has their share of influences that has shaped this very specific LA SKACORE Sound that in its own deserves its own topic of discussion!

Thirsty guys! Off Bad time records, and featuring members of the best of the worst, this band is a super jeff rosenstock/BTMI-like band who formed and dropped their first LP last year! 2019 was a dope year for ska!!!

i forgot to untag @greymattermi and @KillLincoln sorry ya'll
