anyways, any of you ever heard any canadian ska bands...cause i'm from
Montreal and we've got some great ones such as....
The Planet Smashers, The Kingpins, Gangster Politics, Jabber, 2 Stone 2
skank, Undercovers, etc....
anyways....see ya.....
We have a half decent scene on the West Coast that's just starting to
really pick up. In Vancouver, there are:
Skaville, formed out of the ashes of other local ska
bands, are the official two-tone cover band, The Malchiks are goofy ska
with a bit of a punk edge, The Hounds of Buskerville are just plain ska,
Trenchant are excellent but somewhat hard to describe, and there's a few
new, young bands like the Crowned Kings just starting out. The Malchiks
(who might be playing back East in May/June, and have an album coming out
next month) and Trenchant are on the All Skanadian Club 3 which any sane
Canadian ought to own by now.

okay, this april my school band is going on a trip up to canada (we live in WA
state) for a band competition. now, on the way we're supposed to be stopping at
some "8 story" (probably exaggeration) record store somewhere in/near calgary.
it's by a place with "tower" in the name i believe. anyway, i was wondering if
there some of you canadian ska fans could e-mail me (or post, of course) a list
of some good (i listen to trad and jazz-y ska mostly) cds to check out. do
trenchant have a cd out? i've heard "mr. roustabout" and i think it's hella
smooth. any help would really be appreciated. by anyone, actually. Gratzi!
dance on!

Ummm.... here are a few:
The Kingpins - "Watch Your Back"
The Planet Smashers - "The Planet Smashers"
Gangster Politics - "Dawn of the Mafia" (these guys LOVE jazz)
Arsenals - "STOMP"
anything by J.F.K. and the Conspirators
Various - "All-Skanadian Club Vol. 1"
Cheers, Billy

In Toronto we also have a few ace ska bands, such as:
Arsenals
Spinecracker
Skaface (they broke up)
King Apparatus (they broke up too)
Two Tone Skuds
The Smokers (who are actually from Sudbury...oh well!)
The Skanksters
One

The CD is called Watch Your Back and is on Stomp Records. Check the
independent types of music shops, but if you can't find it there, you can
write to Stomp at 370 Putney St., St. Lambert PQ, J4P 3B6
