<description><![CDATA[Surfing high on the Ska Punk wave which raged in the 1990s, No Doubt found their ticket to ride in a watered-down, polished combination of 3rd Wave Ska and punk-pop. With success on the horizon, they quickly moved into more radio-friendly pop territory, launching a career that moved beyond alternative music festivals. As image-perfect as Disneyland, which sat in their backyard, No Doubt embraced a sound and look that countered the aggressive and raw aspects of grunge and punk. What little ska sound they had became buried under tightly crafted new wave currents. The group's appeal skyrocketed with the attention-grabbing centerpiece and vocalist, Gwen Stefani. In both sound and image, Stefani stood out like a forest fire in a snowstorm. Her lofty voice soared over easily digestible, bouncy guitars and took front stage both aurally and visually. Stefani went on to worldwide fame after the band went on hiatus in 2003.

<description><![CDATA[People weren't joking when they called the Clash "the only band that matters." At the end of a decade when most rock music was being made by increasingly self-possessed millionaires, the Clash were a revelation. They played like the Who on speed (which is a pretty big deal, considering the Who were on speed to begin with) and howled about -- well, it was hard to make out just what Joe Strummer was singing on those first few records, but you could tell he was pissed. More importantly, the band's power and passion sounded like the solution to every social ill they addressed, as well as the cure for every personal disappointment you'd ever suffered. As spontaneous as they seemed, the band's three-chord anthems were marvels of songcraft; lead guitarist Mick Jones' pop smarts gave Strummer's righteous anger plenty of hooks to hang on, while Strummer's rage lent heft to even their catchiest songs. As their career progressed, Strummer and Jones explored the Roots and Reggae hinted at in the band's first recordings with increasing confidence, until hubris eventually did them in. But if the Clash hadn't been so arrogant to begin with, they never could have convinced a generation that rock bands were capable of starting revolutions instead of just singing about them.

<description><![CDATA[Following in the footsteps of Lee Scratch Perry, the Wailers, G. Love and the Long Beach Dub Allstars, Slightly Stoopid blend acoustic rock with hip-hop, dub, punk, ska and reggae, attracting an army of die-hard fans, "Ese Locos." Core members Miles Doughty and Kyle McDonald were high school classmates when they signed to Sublime frontman Brad Nowell's label, Skunk Records. Like their Skunk cronies, the band helped define the aggressive sounds of the '90s SoCal skate-punk scene, beginning with their 1996 self-titled debut. Drummer Rob Moran and percussionist/vocalist Oguer Ocon joined the group for third studio album <i> Everything You Need </i>, which showcased their newly vamped live-dub sound. With 2005's <i>Closer to the Sun </i>, the band finally found a home on the Billboard charts. Famous for their crowd rousing jam sessions, Slightly Stoopid continue to tour with a variety of artists, including G. Love & Special Sauce, N.E.R.D, the Roots, Toots and the Maytals and more, playing nearly 200 gigs a year. 2007 kicked off their Summer Haze tour with G.Love and Ozomatli.

<description><![CDATA[While their teenage movie soundtrack-friendly version of Brian Adams' "Summer Of '69" may make Bowling for Soup an easy target for novelty dismissing, further listening will lead you to understand that this band plays contagiously hyper punk-pop with a heavy leaning on third-wave ska influences. Their uncanny talent for writing infectious power pop with soaring harmonies and diamond-edged melodies was honed three years after the band formed, the fruits of seemingly endless touring schedules. The bright parts of Bowling For Soup's songs shine when the band exercise their vacuum-tight playing and flawlessly interlocked vocal harmonies.

<description><![CDATA[Laid-back horns creep up on thick, reggae-rooted bass lines, leading up to a manic explosion of wild Ska fun. Racing vocals and skankin' guitars have a sound close to the heart of more traditional Ska, but Reel Big Fish shake things up enough to keep the kids dancing like dogs under a full moon.

<description><![CDATA[With a voice like a bulldog with throat cancer, Dicky Barrett and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones keep the roof raised with their tight blend of Boston-based Punk and Ska a la the Specials. Formed in 1985 and making their first recorded debut in 1989, the Bosstones (as they are informally called) were on the Third Wave Ska scene way early. They helped to shape the now wildly popular genre, Ska-Punk. Though they tone down once in a while to take on a more traditional, more subdued Ska style, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones mostly live up to (and beyond) their name and crunch through some serious Hardcore. Even when they're pushing up the pulse of their sound, the Bosstones never sacrifice the horn-rich Ska aspect of the band. Instead, the horn and the up-down guitar sound picks up both the pace and feet -- and sets the kids dancing.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Combine the irresistibly catchy melodies of Punk-Pop with ska beats played at warp speed and a robust section of squealing horns, and you've got Less Than Jake. The mishmash of styles blends unexpectedly well, emerging as a danceable hybrid with a little something for everyone, from punkers to porkpie-wearing rudies.

<description><![CDATA[Another band composed of Ska and Punk fans who couldn't bear to settle on just one genre. Goldfinger spin out slick, 100% horn-free music that's actually closer to Green Day than the Skatalites -- or even the Specials for that matter. Their catchy hooks and high-energy playing have helped them win the hearts of legions of contemporary Ska Punk and corporate rock fans everywhere.

<description><![CDATA[<I> Spin</I> magazine called them the "future of rock 'n' roll." Perhaps, but if nothing else, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs are the point of departure for all contemporary Latin bands that fuse rock with Latin rhythms. They began by playing Ska in the 1980s, and have matured to freely mix Punk, jazz, Funk, Afro-Cuban, Brazilian, Metal and Tango with accordion, sax, trumpet, trombone and the usual rock instrumentation. Their songs are generally up-tempo and characterized by frequent breaks or changes, sophisticated production, and complex arrangements; the Argentinian band's lyrics, effortlessly sung with passion, can be irreverent and dark, or humorous and even tender. "Matador" was a huge international hit for them and ultimately led to collaborations with Fishbone, Deborah Harry, Mick Jones, and Celia Cruz. They've toured extensively to enthusiastic audiences all over Latin America and the U.S., and their music appeared in the popular John Cusack film <I>Grosse Pointe Blank</I>. The awards they have been bestowed are too numerous to mention, and the eyes and ears of the Latin Rock world are upon them.

<description><![CDATA[As with the Beatles, there'll never be another Clash. But in the early '90s, no one more closely approximated the Clash's sheer energy and restlessness than Rancid. Their renovated and refurbished sound was palatable to old-school punks, new-school punks, and MTV followers alike. Lead singer Tim "Lint" Armstrong and bassist Matt Freeman had already debuted in a number of other notable Punk and Ska outfits, including M.D.C., Dance Hall Crashers, and their highly successful creation, Operation Ivy. By the time the pair formed Rancid, they had ironed out the freshman rough edges to emerge with raucous, feel-good Punk with catchy melodies galore and enough ruffian chanting to start a bar fight. And even if almost every lyric sung by Armstrong falls just outside of coherent, their music's fiery vibrancy is enough to keep the spirit of 1977 alive.

<description><![CDATA[One of the original bands to effortlessly cross genres, Fishbone trailblazed a blend of Funk, Punk, Ska and Metal that was neither forced nor unnatural. A crazy horn and guitar filled amalgamation backed up by a virtuoso rhythm section makes up the backbone of their live show, while frontman Angelo Moore leaves behind most traces of sanity when he goes onstage. Though it has never been reflected by their record sales, Fishbone have garnered enough respect over the years to establish a cult following, and many newer bands such as No Doubt and Sublime owe a good deal of their success to the pioneering efforts of Fishbone.

<description><![CDATA[Sounding like a No Doubt tribute band, Save Ferris soldered together Punk-Pop buoyancy and springy Ska beats and found themselves with a minor hit on their hands when they covered Dexy's Midnight Riders' "Come On Eileen." Vocalist Monique Powell sometimes mistakes herself for a seasoned chanteuse with comic results. One more thing to smile about in the general air of festivity surrounding the band.

<description><![CDATA[Australian trio comes off like punks shedding their skin in an effort to make it big. The Living End effectively drive squinty-faced Punk-Pop vocals headfirst into songs loaded with bristling guitars. The result is catchier and friendlier than Rancid, but not nearly as innocuous as Green Day. For a trio, these Aussies make a hell of a lot of noise, yet they keep themselves in check enough to find their way into regular MTV and radio rotation.

<description><![CDATA[Ska will never die, at least not as long as revivalists like Mad Caddies are around to resuscitate it when it looks as though it's about to falter. Of course, the more things stay the same, the more they change, and although they rely on a few standard codes of Ska -- up/down rhythms, horns galore, and beats that fall just left of center -- they also add a few new sounds such as raging guitars and hyperactive vocals.

<description><![CDATA[The Suicide Machines have earned one of the widest followings in Punk-Pop for good reason. Even without the benefit of horns, this winsome Detroit outfit puts together airtight Ska grooves that move crowds with mesmeric power. In a genre overpopulated with clones, the Suicide Machines stand out not only because they have a gift for hooks, but also because they dare to evolve. From the punchy stage-divers of <I>Destruction by Definition</I> (1996) to the thoughtful, polished pop of their self-titled 2000 release, this band challenges its fans to grow up with them, while never neglecting to make the process sound fun.

<description><![CDATA[Sick of It All and Shelter helped form the New York Hardcore sound from two different angles. From their experiences in those seminal hardcore bands, Sick of It All roadie Toby Morse and Shelter's Adam Blake shape a new, more melodic, but still blistering NY/HC style. With thick roots deep in the New York Hardcore scene, H2O are no slouches in their punk attack. A powerful, popping bassline picks up the pace on their already accelerated and incredibly catchy, sing-along Hardcore. Their songs recall the positive themes of the Straight-Edge scene in the '80s, but sidestep the preachy, holier-than-thou posturing. In addition to ideological similarities, H2O also borrow sonically from bands like the Gorilla Biscuits, who had undeniably infectious melodies.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Originally, Ska stars like Desmond Dekker and Laurel Aitken combined the Motown sound with Jamaican bluebeat rhythms and horns, more horns, and additional horns. Perhaps as an homage to these pioneers, the Pietasters have followed suit, mixing '60s R&B and Punk into their distinctive Ska sound that not only possesses the peppy, knee-jerk, circus-inspired rhythms of most 3rd Wave Ska, but which also leans towards the roots of the genre. The Pietasters allow one to either kick up their heels, or relax and sway to the more mellow tunes they have to offer -- after all, skankin' too quickly is tiring, not to mention the fact that you end up looking like an idiot running in place after awhile.

<description><![CDATA[With an emphasis on a mighty horn section and a set of perky drum patterns, an insurgent gravel-voiced singer blurts out his vocals in unison with jittery Ska guitar on this featured track. This track exhibits a sound partly pioneered through the short career (1993-1996) of this six-piece band from Illinois. The band developed their sound by taking a cue from Second Wave Ska bands like the Specials and adding Punk overtones to give the music a new aggressive feel.

<description><![CDATA[Southern California's Ska-Punk heroes bring a heavy helping of horns to their up-tempo skank sound. The vocals are gruff and rough, matching the heavy guitars. It's more of a sound you'd associate with many SoCal hardcore bands.

<description><![CDATA[Gravelly vocals try to harmonize but don't quite hit the mark, giving this N.Y.C. band a sound as rough as Operation Ivy's catchy, ragged Ska Punk. When Choking Victim abandon their Ska influences, a barrage of fast, noisy guitars hone in on manic, ripped and torn Punk-Pop.

<description><![CDATA[Citizen King scored a minor hit with the Arrested Development-like "Better Days" in 1999. Mixing up hip-hop with Punk, the Milwaukee-based five-piece offer an edgy, danceable compromise between the two. As slick as G. Love but nowhere near as smug, Citizen King's is the sort of music you want to have on when it's time to rock da dorm to da breaka dawn.

<description><![CDATA[Hitching a ride on the '90s Ska Punk bandwagon, the Blue Meanies have emerged as one of the genre's most celebrated acts. The sound is tightly wound, alarmingly fast, and approaching '80s Hardcore Punk. In fact, there's little ska here, unless you look very close, and notice the horns that weave through the cranking guitars and the occasional mid-song, blue-beat breakdown.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Tongue-in-cheek Satan-worshipping band proves that Third Wave Ska, not rock 'n' roll, is the true music of the Devil. Up-tempo, horn filled tunes promise to bring you to your feet and make you run around as if the infernal fires of hell were lapping at your toes.

<description><![CDATA[Rock Steady Ska beat gives way to horn-driven Hardcore. The raspy vocals play jump rope with the rhythm, keeping the songs bouncing. The guitars take a backseat to the sped-up, yet still more traditional Ska style.

<description><![CDATA[Leader in the sweepstakes for "Ska Punk band sounding most like Operation Ivy," Florida's Against All Authority rip out songs more heavy in Punk than Ska. Their horn-heavy sound keeps a fast, pounding, skankin' beat so the kids can kick up dust.

<description><![CDATA[Citizen Fish rose from the ashes of early '80s British Hardcore punks Subhumans. In their newest incarnation, they expound upon the Subhumans' brief forays into Ska, creating heavy reggae-influenced Punk. Spiky guitars and Dick Lucas' distinctive vocals help to define their current sound.]]></description>
