[QUOTE=Cassel;27364873]High five! I've been trying to find a band to jam with for about two years now, but there is only quartets of horn players that are looking for a guitars/percussions/vocals.[/QUOTE] Horn bands are a pain in the ass for me, pure and simple. My friend Paul tried to start one? Boring as hell.
I got the "Somewhere In The Between" album by Streetlight Manifesto a few weeks ago. I love it. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-UTPKL-UGY[/media]
Streetlight is my absolute favorite band ever. I have seen them four times in concert, as well. :D Their concerts are always, always epic. Like, truly epic.

[QUOTE=blezzy;27421353]is sublime ska?[/QUOTE] No, they're just awesome. But I don't think they feature brass in many of their songs, so i would say no.
Them there Aquabats are AWESOME. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEQitya7uWM[/media] Ska heroes of our generation *salute* A quick nod to Catch 22 with one of my favorite Ska songs ever from one of my favorite Ska albums ever; Keasbey Nights. Eventually Tomas Kalnoky from Catch 22 rerecorded the entire album with his new band, Streetlight Manifesto [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tg8e1FiskCI[/media] Streetlight Manifesto is legit as fuck. They're coming to AZ on February 28th, during which I will not be in the damned state (fffffffff) Their cover album is awesome. Ever heard that song Such Great Heights by the Postal Service? Yeah, well Brass > Keys now.

Ska is one of the best genres IMO, Gotta love Madness!
What about [b] The Beat/ the English Beat [/b] ? Mirror in the Bathroom: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTNpaaPHENE[/media] Rankin' Full Stop: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNKFKKmzri4&feature=related[/media] Twist and Crawl: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bch9DuV0Y8o[/media]
The English Beat is amazing, they've made some great songs, saw them live a few years ago as well. Anyone been listening to The Aquabats latest album? I've just recently got it, only a few songs into it atm but it seems great so far.
