Radio Noise – “Save All Your Sadness For Me” mp3

Buster the Ska Doggie — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 23:01:39 +0000

Radio Noise’s kick ass punky ska number, “Save All Your Sadness For Me” has more valuable relationship advice stuffed into a few hot minutes than you might spend thousands of dollars and hours on in a fancy therapy office. Quality post-modern neurosis with a catchy chorus and some really funny lines. Two paws up. “Save [...]

The Kingpins Still Shredding In Cyberhizzle

Apparently Montreal’s beloved Kingpins’ L’Aventurier mp3 has grown cyberlegs, and is running amok in the blog-o-sphere. That’s a good thing. More ska = more fun. More fun = a better world. The equation is simple. Carry on. You just finished reading The Kingpins Still Shredding In Cyberhizzle! Consider leaving a comment!11GB Free Music Locker!Elephant Backup [...]

Sweet Summer Sounds of The Cherry Poppin’ Daddies

Buster the Ska Doggie — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 20:30:33 +0000

Before Sublime (and all the bands after that seem to squeeze juicy ska reggae dub vibes from the California surf and sun!) The Cherry Poppin’ Daddies were cookin’ up some sunshine of their own in the rainy northwest town of Eugene, Oregon. Their name was a sort of deliberate confrontation with the hyper-PC reality of [...]

iTones! Skanking Foolz, Unite!

Eric Din — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 21:06:36 +0000

Yay! We are totally thrilled that today of all days, the Uptones first studio album, Skankin’ Foolz Unite! on Fun Fun Fun Recordings is available at iTunes. This makes us very happy. However! It’s listed, as we feared, as “Alternative” music! How can they call our ska music “alternative?” It’s a travesty. Skankin’ Foolz Unite! [...]

Hello Ska World

Eric Din — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 20:37:24 +0000

Hi, this is Eric and Moose from The UpTones. We got depressed when we could not find a ska section in our local record store in Berkeley. We then went to Amazon and iTunes and everywhere else online, and couldn’t find ska as a genre. It’s either under “alternative” which is bollocks, or listed as [...]
