Need music suggestions.

[AJB32690]

For those of you who don't know, I'm a music junky. Listening, playing, taking long walks on the beach with, whatever, I just love music! I'm always trying to find new stuff to listen to, and recently became interested in ska. Specifically ska-core. If anyone could suggest bands that fit into that genre, I will give you cookies. Lol, seriously, band suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

One of my teachers at school is into this (I think it is this genre of music anyway). She said something about "No Doubt" either fits in this category or is inspired from this type of music. I am not sure if that helps you out, but maybe it will be a start.

And ska-core would be like what. Gimme an example and then I can help you.

[AJB32690]

Things like Streetlight Manifesto, Catch 22, Reel Big Fish, Aqua Bats.

Basically any 3rd wave ska bands.

i never like ska to much, but I did like a few bands that may have inspired some ska. Like Operation Ivy, Rancid, the suicide machines are ska I think

Ummm... I was looking for ska, not rap. And last I checked, Black Daliah Murder was metal.

for those of you that don't know ska is is a music genre that originated in Jamaica in the late 1950s, and which was the precursor to rocksteady and reggae.Ska combined elements of Caribbean mento and calypso with American jazz and rhythm and blues. It is characterized by a walking bass line, accented with rhythms on the offbeat.

Thats the original ska, aka 1st wave. Im looking for 3rd wave, which is more like punk rock + jazz. Not quite sure how to explain it in a way you could understand. I could explain the technical aspects, but only other musicians would understand that. Try searching youtube for some of the bands already mentioned and you will get an idea of what it is.
