Ska punk is a fusion music genre that combines ska and punk rock. It achieved its highest level of commercial success in the United States in the late 1990s. Ska-core (sometimes spelled skacore) is a subgenre of ska punk, blending ska with hardcore punk.

The characteristics of ska punk vary, due to the fusion of contrasting genres. The more punk-influenced style often features faster tempos, guitar distortion, onbeat punk rock-style interludes (usually the chorus), and punk-style vocals. The more ska-influenced style of ska punk features a more developed instrumentation and a cleaner vocal and musical sound. The common instrumentation includes electric guitar, bass guitar, drums, brass instruments (such as trombones or trumpets), and sometimes an organ.

A. My first punk/ska show I didnt know what to wear either. It really didn't matter in the long run, but make sure you wear comfortable shoes! It depends on your style, but I usually wear jeans and a tank. It gets really hot.

Are there any relatively new Punk or Ska rock bands that you'd recommend?
Q. Its depressing that the only punk or ska bands I see are washed up, middle age has beens... I'm starting 2 believe that punk really is dead : -(

A. If you think that the only people playing punk are old washed up has-beens, then maybe YOU should start a band. Punk will not survive if the people interested in it are too apathetic to improve the scene themselves. If you leave it up to other people, there's no guarantee that you'll be happy with their interpretation of what punk is. That being said, some good new-ish ska/two-tone bands are Hepcat, the Aggrolites, Bomb the Music Industry!, the Planet Smashers, and Skankin' Pickle (who are not new, but awesome nonetheless). New-ish punk bands are the Marked Men, Toys That Kill, Witch Hunt, Gruk, Vena Cava, and Off With Their Heads. If you want to stay up on current underground bands, try subscribing to a music zine like Maximum RockNRoll… [cont.]
