Ska and I don't always get along but when we do, Bosstones are definitely fucking good stuff.

I'm an edgy bitch, I wish there was some shitty angsty goth ska. I'd be addicted. How have we gone so long without anything like that? Ska has distant connections to the roots of literally every angsty teenager genre, after all.

You would be pleased to find out about my upcoming project: Slappomattox Courthouse. It'll never happen, but imagine edgy, pro-Union punk-ska like Rancid. We skank around and just punch Confederates on stage.

Nu Metal is great. It's fucking funny seeing black and death metal artists saying "hey we appreciate American Head Charge and Deftones, actually." I'm so glad it's coming back, even if only as an underground thing. If you want some more edgy white boy music, let me know, I have about 30GB of just nu metal lurking in my library, and I'm picky as fuck with my music in every way but genre.

I've had a horrible musical project lurking at the back of my head for awhile now: Ska meets slam death metal and industrial rock. Take mid-paced Suffocation style slam death, powerviolence vocals instead of goofy gurgling, turn the slams into skank beats with all the appropriate wobbly brass section stuff, and stack some bizarre malfunctioning electronic washes on top of it, Xaddax style.

I've cycled through a few names for it, but I've been really into Fraudulent Anatomy Jazz Orchestra lately. (Because I'm trans, get it, haha.)

Like yours, it will never happen because while I can do vocals and electronics, I have no ability to play instruments live. My vocal range is huge though, and I have enough stage presence that half the crowd's attention was on me at the Chemlab concert I went to (thanks Jared!)

Specials, the Selector, Fun Boy Three. You could do worse.

Start with "Ghost Town".

Ghost Town is a fun ride. Goofy Halloween reggae vibes. Not what I associate with ska, but good all the same, definitely. I'll have to check out the rest of those bands, but to be clear I was thinking something with about that amount of atmospherics and way more aggression.

I think what it is is that this just has no venom or aggression in it, which is more what I'm after for that "ah yes I am addicted now" feeling. This is the softer side of ska. GREAT stuff to be sure, but I'm always more into harsh music, and I don't even know why. If there's no shouting or distortion it just feels like visiting a foreign country.

So I guess like... if you blended ska with mid 2000s hardcore punk? But also had that goofy Halloweeny vibe to it, that would be PERFECT.

And that's why I was pretty sure it doesn't exist.

It's so close! It's so so close! The guitar is slightly too far back in the mix!

But I gotta say, not only do I really like this, I EXTREMELY appreciate the tritones in the horn section during the first track. That immediately stood out and COMPLETELY changed the tone of the whole thing, worthy of much recognition and praise.

Oh wait... Have you checked out Operation Ivy yet?

For some reason, I assumed you already had.

You would have been correct, and I absolutely love it too. (Good part of having heard it is QGP's husband: the man has good music taste, what can I say!)
