Ska is not dead.

Ska is not dead, so does anyone know any great ska bands (past or present) that I should look into? (specific songs and album names are always appreciated as well)

thank you!

I enjoyed the Jurassic Ska Bandits, before they split up.

I hear Jessica Rabbit are quite good.

Um... a friend of mine swears by Fandangle... and is obsessed with Less Than Jake...

If you lived near me, I could just hook you up with my friend who runs ska/punk gigs :)
