Ska-punk bands

[Wykydtron]

I've just started getting into ska-punk bands. Other than the big ones like Less Than Jake, Goldfinger, and Reel Big Fish, can anyone suggest some good bands. Preferably local ones too so there's a better chance of getting out to shows.

Rancid, Buck-O-Nine, Catch 22...

You'll mostly see the bigger mainstrame Ska Bands come here. Warp Tour is over, but a good chance to see all types of punk bands. There are usually really good unknown bands that open up shows for the bigger names.

Warped Tour is what sparked my interest.

Punk concerts are awesome and don't cost a fortune. Goldfinger is one of my favorite bands. I've seen them twice (GM Place and Commodore) a few years ago and caught the drumsticks that they threw into the crowd at the end of the show. All of their albums are just awesome.

Never seen Less than Jake headline their own concert in Vancouver.

If you're into those bands, you'll quickly expand and listen to all types of punk, punk rock, emo, alterantive punk etc.

Bouncing Souls, Dropkick Murphy's, Floggy Molly are all coming to Vancouver, I would check them out as they will put on a good show.

I've already got my tix to Dropkick Murphy's and Flogging Molly
