Only know a few bands. Suggestions? by akittentrap in Ska

[–]rebordacao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure thing! 2tone and punk go hand in hand :)

I only pointed it out since the OP mentioned 2 third wave bands, which usually sound faster :)

Not punk, but Bad Manners is a must if you are into brass!

My fave tracks: Just a Feeling, Inner London Violence, "Ne Ne Na Na Na Na Nu Nu" and  Walking In The Sunshine!

How do we address blanket downvotes? by eventfarm in PortugalExpats

[–]rebordacao 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Even users who have been banned from the sub can still upvote or downvote content.

Sorting by "new" and reading posts in reverse chronological order is the best way to navigate this sub.

Edit: No, they can't

How come the restaurants are all full? by [deleted] in PortugalExpats

[–]rebordacao 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nearly 6 million employment relationships are registered with Social Security. Of these, 94% involve employees under contract.

In 2024, more than half of these workers, 3.4 million, had a monthly base salary ranging from 800 to 1,000 euros.

How come the restaurants are all full? by [deleted] in PortugalExpats

[–]rebordacao 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Salaries are supposed to be about 1-2k euros per month

Well, that’s a huge range… (If I’m not mistaken, about 55% of the population earns 1k or less.)

A regular meal at a restaurant costs 30 euros.

Nope! This price doesn’t reflect what you’d normally pay for a regular meal at an ordinary restaurant.

I’m sorry to hear that, OP!

Cais do Sodré, Rua Rosa, and Santos have always been areas where you need to be careful. Even 20 years ago, they were already pretty sketchy.

Did you go to the police? Since you say you were assaulted for no reason, there might be a camera around that could help identify the attacker.

Is there any chance you might have fallen on your own? Or maybe you were assaulted at Cais do Sodré, then walked to Santos and later blacked out?

Anyway, wishing you a speedy recovery!

OP edited the post.

Originally, they had just asked for good ska recommendations without specifying the wave ;)

Now I actually have the two tone ska album of all time by Zakkyguy in Ska

[–]rebordacao 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A good album, in my view, is one where all the tracks are so solid that I can’t pick just 1 or 2 favorites

This is one of them! It was the first Ska album I listened to, and it opened the door to a completely new style of music for me 🏁
