I would imagine you might know who the band Less Than Jake is, it's a ska band from Gainesville, Florida and they used to be one of my all time favorite ska bands, now it seems like their last two albums GNV FLA and In With The Out Crowd, have gone down the shitter as far as fun sounds go. They aren't like fun ska anymore, it's mostly just a lot less fun sounding, and the songs aren't as happy. I mean take a look at their older stuff:

At the bottom is their album In With The Out Crowd. I mean, I'm not saying it sucks, I still like it, but it sounds like they stopped having fun with their music as opposed to the songs I listed at the top. Less Than Jake is still one of my top favorite bands, not just ska bands (because all of my top bands are ska bands), but out of anything.
It just sounds like they sold out and had to start playing more serious stuff or something. I think we need a 4th wave.
I misspelled the title, total fail.
Yeah, I think they've really turned into a much more of a generic rock sound.
Also, Good Burger. :buddy:

Yeah, lots of their new stuff is very mainstream, and if you sampled any of the songs on Amazon, almost every other song has a matching tone and rhythm. It's kind of lazy, they just use the same style over and over now.
I remember hearing All My Best Friends Are Metalheads in Tony Hawk's pro skater 4 and that's what got me into them :v:

although "KaBlam!" got me into ska first, when I was 7
pretty damn impressive, because I didn't even know what ska was then

Yep, pretty much the game that confirmed ska as my favorite genre. I remember Superman by Goldfinger in THPS. That was ska, but I was only like 6 when that came out, so THPS4 did it for me.
