Bad Manners – “Non Shrewd” mp3
And the heir apparent to Judge Dread’s naughty quirky UK take on the rude ska riddims, is the one, the only Buster Bloodvessel, lead singer and fearless leader of Bad Manners. Playing nearly non-stop since the Two-Tone explosion in the late 70′s, Bad Manners has been something of a school for many aspiring young ska horn players, guitarists, drummies, you name it. Through it all the great lip up fatty himself held it together. I have been asked, “Buster the ska doggie, are you named after Buster Bloodvessel, or Prince Buster?” Keep guessing! And skank til u drop 
Judge Dread – “Skin Lake” mp3
UK’s original rude bwoi Judge Dread holds forth and the little ska kittehs all gather in a circle at his feet. This guys was doing ska in England before the Specials, and ladies and gents, the list of people who can say that is very short indeed. Skankitup.
Sonic Boom Six – “People Acklike They Don’t Know” mp3
It is a personal ska doggie mission of mine to explain to the uninitiated that you must hear SB6. If you don’t, zombies will eat your face. Well, maybe not, but your life simply will not be as fulfilling and satisfying. You must discover Sonic Boom Six and listen to their music and see them live at your next opportunity if you are to avoid a dreary life as a bank manager in Kent.
Skankin’ Pickle – “Thick Ass Stout” mp3
Dear old Skankin’ Pickle. They came, they dilled, they conquered. Forever enshrined in mp3 format, here is their mighty ode to Guinness and the like. A beer milkshake as ska song. Brilliant. buuuurp
Let’s Go Bowling – “Solar Shock” mp3
Consistently one of California’s best ska bands, LGB brings a great dub sensibility to their music, which is more two-tone and traditional ska based than 3rd wave, though they are rightfully known as one of the original 3rd wave bands. This instrumental mid tempo rocker really cooks.
The Cherry Poppin’ Daddies – “Hi And Lo” mp3
The ever-luvin’ Cherry Poppin’ Daddies with a pop rockin’ 3rd wav-ish amped up ode to friendship thru good times and bad. Exskalent.
The Specials – “Gangsters” mp3
The Specials, how do we love thee, let us count the ways. No there’s too many, I’ll be here all day. First single from the best band ev@R! Don’t call me skarface.
Bob Marley – Soul Shakedown Party (Remix) mp3
Ah, Bob. Bob. What can you said that aint already been said? Bob, baby. This remix is gorgeous springtime fun and it does the original plenty ‘o justice while taking it to another realm o’ fun. Check it.
Freetown – “Skaffic Jam” mp3
Ya wanna get caught up in Freetown‘s Skaffic Jam. Not like any traffic jam, theirs is populated with upbeats, bass, drums, horns and SKA vocals, careening in and outta lanes like rush hour. Go deh.
Dub City Rockers – “Trojan City Love” mp3
A true labour of love from Dub City Rockers, this is a sort of unofficial anthem here at ska4u world headquarters. A massive and well informed name check fest, with music to live up to those great names. Brilliant in every way.
