Ska!
Sythe:
Are the Aquabats still ska? They killed off the horn section and now I'm confused.

no offense, but the mighty mighty bosstones has got to be the stalest ska band out there.
--- Quote from: TScho ---Too Short Notice - A pretty well known north east ska band. Fronted by a female vocalist they have a rather unique sound and tend to please.

jersey local, saw them at the rockfest at kenilworth high round feburary ish. damn, sucks though, because before they went on their tour. their last show in jersey, the one at the firehouse got cancelled because the venue might as well be broke.
Skanking, IMO, is a MUST at a ska show. kids that don't skank and just stand there the whole time annoy the crap outta me. it's as if the venue isn't small enough so you have to go and just take up space just standing there.

<edit>
(streetlight for when they mix in a catch 22 song in one of their own. big d.... fell in love when i heard their "Little Bitch" cover. and the superspecs, just because. maybe it's that song "More EMO than Thou" that made me like them so much)
<edit>
I don't really like much of Catch 22 'cept the Keasbey Nights era.

Condition Oakland:
Ska shows are the only shows I go to, if that means anything about how much I love the music.
The NJ Ska scene is wonderful, I love the people in it, and we have fun.
I wouldn't know what to do at any other kind of show. I need to dance.

Aw... Why do you say that?
I could probably listen to songs like Toxic Toast forever.
Edit:
Didn't the superspecs stop calling themselves ska? I don't know what it was when I saw them at Bloomfield Ave a while ago, but one of their songs was called something like "crying into a bleeding corpse." I um... yeah... bleeding corpse and all that...
KharBevNor:
You could be the annoying skanking git?
A good, sparsely populated pit with plenty of room for spastic, grindy, low-contact moshing kicks the poop out of skanking anyway, and goth dancing, if one has the moves, picks it up, fuses it into a ball and chucks it into the sun.

I'm always afraid of getting the shit kicked out of me at my friends shows. He's cool with me dancing, and after he plays he always comes down and dances with me, but the rest of the "punk crowd" doesn't really take well to it.
I don't really like moshing, I'd rather dance and have fun then have the shit kicked out of me, because it happens even if it starts out as low contact, but I guess that would make me a pussy.
