Syracuse Ska Forum

i was just listening to them, its like Emo with horns

their old stuff kicked so much ass, that song yearbook hits me so hard

The worst is the Altai District. They opened for Big D in Buffalo. They have like 7 horn players and they play generic emo/indie. They kept bitching at the crowd to dance, but the didn't play one danceable note the entire set.

NEWSFLASH KIDS:

You don't need horns to be a ska band, and just because you have them doesn't mean you're a ska band.

no, no emo ska.

i DARE you to find a ska chord in Cherry Bing's "In a Language All Your Own"

i bought that cd at Ska is Dead in buffalo, when i played it in the car on the ride home it pissed me off so much. f*ck emo "ska".... no, we'll call it emo with horns

Jesus, a little angry at something where there are some quality bands to the genre.

Emo ska has lithium (who have some danceable songs) and 10 Minutes Down whom I don't personally like, but a mutual friend of mine and 8ball Danny likes them.

i was only pissed because the cd i bought sounded absolutely nothing like what they played on stage

and i still listen to their new stuff, i just dont find it as pleasing

I do?

Edit: Yay for reading. Um, we have a mutual friend? Quien Es?

You know Allie (l0singsteak X)

yes, yes i do. interesting. how do you know her if you're from rochester?

Allie posts on the Turn Up The Ska message boards and so do I.

The only reason I know you know her si because she mentioned she won a scene contest with a friend named Danny who had an LTJ reference in his name, but didn't live in Long Island.

hahaha, she told people about that? weird. i'm actually from queens. she's from farmingdale. so she lives about 25 minutes from me if i were at home (since queens is on long island, but not really part of long island). I don't even know how i know her actually. She posts on the ASOB board and the SM board, and randomly she's my LJ friend too. I have no clue where we actually first started talking or anything, but she's a cool girl.

I guess you could call her cool.

Nah, I'm just kidding, she helps me with lots of shit.

their alirght once you realize your nto listening to ska

Brandon you loser! You're one of the most emo people I know! You create so much frickin' drama it's not even funny. In fact it kind of angers me sometimes, but then I remember that you're just an emo boy in highschool and I shouldn't be angry with you because of it.

Loser.
