bands are getting older, starting families. new bands aren't coming in to fill the gaps like they were. also i think the scene has grown BORING! the albums people payed attention to this year were from bands who hadn't put new material out in several years. there weren't a lot of good new ska bands bursting out these past few years. Also i think there is some turbulence among record labels again. The new slakers album wasn't on hellcat, further highlighting that label's dedication to only what it popular, megalith has been pretty inactive lately, and asian man seems to have pop punk and re-issues shoved up its a** lately(not that i dont love the Queers, but you know how it is) FBR hasn't had a ska band on them in years, Jump Up doesn't really push it artists, stubborn is pretty much a one man show, and Moon is long dead and its bands are scattered to the wind.
back to hellcat, if you doubt my claim, i ask you only to look at the "Give 'Em the Boot" compilations
Vol. 1 All ska, oi, and a few street punk tracks
vol. 2 Still very much a ska dominated label. less oi, more punk, and the first of the label's many psychobilly bands turn up on this one
vol. 3 significantly less ska and oi. a lot more psychobilly and generic punk bands
vol. 4 3 ska tracks, one by Chris Murray who was probably at the peak of his popularity. also street punk and psychobilly seem to dominate this compilation. ill also point out that Hot Topic was pushing both those genres at that time.
vol. 5 two ska tracks to my memory, both of which were album cuts. as for the rest i dont know or care, i gave this cd one listening and sold it back to the store
if you look at the bands on the compilations, what ever was popular when that cd came out, is what's on the comp. Vol. 1 was out at the peak of the third wave, and it shows. i think we are def. reaching the true end of the third wave in the next year or so.

agreed, but thats how most labels are.
hoping for sleep it off. hope it becomes good. hope Less Than Jake can make an awesome return with the new CD. I mean there are good ska bands out there, just hoping it can come back again. til then, I'll continue to support the scene about as much as I can down here, specially when it comes to smaller touring bands.

Slag10 AnonymousJoe And to Slag, I recognize bands are getting older but bands are filling the gaps as well, look at megalith, they have plenty of bands that are filling the gaps, they just signed go jimmy go for example. Not to mention theres still catch 22 who went missing in 2007 practically. I think this is the end of the 3rd wave. megalith's roster is pretty much all established bands though. you got toasters and bigger thomas, two seriously old us bands plus HCS(inspector 7 2.0) and bomb town. GJG is also a fairly well established band. i was playing their albums 3 years ago on the radio. its not like 98 when if you threw a rock in a crowd you could hit a guy who played in a ska band. our area used to be a very active scene. Southern Ska was one of largest ska e-zines, and booked tons of shows in the area. it folded in 2005, and the TN scene now has about 2 shows a month total. thats dead no matter how you slice it
not if you slice it on the half of the month without shows... then its like a show every week. and thats pretty good.
mhm.
