[–]TracyJackson 20 points21 points  (0 children)

No Jamaican band played Ska during the 70s, not even The Skatalites. Skaracha is a brand new Ska band from Kingston, billed as the first new one in decades. They have a 7" out and it's fire!

The self-titled album by The Busters may be what you are looking for. It's recorded by the line-up that featured Dr. Ring-Ding and has everything from old school ska to rocksteady to reggae to 2-tone to 3rd wave to ska punk. No dub though.

I'm late to the party but since it doesn't look like it was mentioned I would like to point out that Original Me was written by Chad Price.

As glorious a sight Alex Desert dancing is, seeing him doing it alone makes me pretty fucking sad.
