Found more pictures of me wearing the jacket I just found for sale! Note the old CD player and CD case. Also note my Operation Ivy shirt and my old ass Converse. Also note my ex-boyfriends Conflict patch.

We had bonfires on the riverbank all the time back then.

Any ska punk recs? Been getting into the genre lately and I'm on the hunt for some deep cuts

Sweet! Some deep cuts, huh? I'll recommend you a few albums than link some individual songs I enjoy as well.

Less than jake - Pezcore

Choking Victim- No Gods/No Managers [1999]

Who Is, This Is? - Album by Voodoo Glow Skulls

Operation Ivy - Energy (1991)

Losers, Kings, and Things We Don't Understand - Album by Less Than Jake (<- this is a compilation album of 4 of some of their first EPs ever, some of their best stuff in here imo).

if you’d like listening to some deep old cuts from a big-name musician in the scene:

Gimp - Smiles For Macavity

CATCH 22 - Rules of the Game (1997)

aaand then some individual songs I enjoy, all of these bands are great too!

Ska Sucks

Big D and the Kid's Table : Wailing Paddle

Tired Bones

Don Juan

Additionally, if you want stuff on the punkier, crustier side, I definitely recommend some "Crack Rock Steady" bands. They have a very unique ska fusion sound that I love, mainly prioritizing ska-style basslines over all else. Some bands off the top of my head would include:

Positive Junk, No Cash, The Stupid Stupid Henchmen, The Infested, Gang Control, Corrupt Vision, Atrocity Solution, and many more if you look around enough.

You'll definitely be seeing these guys around on this blog. Couldn't recommend them enough if that's your deal :)
