I'm looking for some good newer bands that can pull of the 2-tone style.


I'll settle for a good ska/punk band that doesn't have whiney ass vocals though.


Links to sounds would be even more top notch though.

They aren't new but the Allstonians were pretty awesome when they were around.

If you don't have any, and want some of their stuff drop me an IM.

I assumed you had probably heard them, but they were the first band that popped into my mind when I read your post.

Quite right, quite right. Their new stuff is kind of weird. Their best CD is definitely Halfway Between Here and There.

The RxBandits are the only band I can think of who for the most part have stopped playing any form of ska and in the process have gotten better. Don't just listen to old RxB, go listen to their new stuff. It's much, much better.

You might like 'Smoke Like A Fish' or even 'Spider Nick and the Maddogs'.
