Almost 35 years as a going concern, Voodoo Glow Skulls are geared at the chunky riff-heavy end of ska punk and were originally influenced by Fishbone and Red Hot Chili Peppers, as well as their hardcore punk peers. On Firme, their debut for Epitaph, and second album overall, the seven-piece’s furious but wacky brand of ska punk set them apart from ...
Taking cues from '70s British punk as well as Operation Ivy and Rancid, Goldfinger would eventually abandon the ska influence but their debut album’s musicianship elevated them above late '90s bands like Reel Big Fish, Save Ferris, Mad Caddies and similar landfill ska punkers who had beat the genre into submission by the millennium. Here In Your Be...
The UK’s revitalised ska punk scene took off in 2000, most notably with albums from Milton Keynes’ Capdown, London’s King Prawn and Tewkesbury’s Spunge. At the grittier hardcore end of ska punk, with influences from Snuff to Citizen Fish and boating an occasional horn section, Capdown’s reputation as an incredibly tight musical unit earned from rel...

Their 1990 debut Free Souls in a Trapped Env...
By the time Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman resurfaced with Rancid following the Operation Ivy split, it looked as if they’d all but left ska punk behind with the raw urgency of their hardcore 1993 self-titled debut. But by the time of their crowning glory, 1995’s …And Out Come The Wolves, it had crept back in. Well, for three tracks at least: Time ...
Following the original split of the Subhumans in 1985, Dick Lucas returned with Culture Shock, whose sound couldn’t have been further from the nightmarish anarcho punk his former band delivered on The Day The Country Died and Cradle to The Grave. Influential debut album Go Wild , with its infectious grooves, mirrored the socio-political themes of t...
In terms of skilled musicianship and songwriting prowess, few ska punk bands could touch The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, specifically the compositional talent of core members vocalist Dicky Barratt, Joe Gittleman the bass fiddleman, guitarist Nate Albert and trombonist Dennis Brockenborough, the latter heading up the greatest horn section that ska pun...
Filtering their love of 70s punk through the 2-Tone movement, UK pals Culture Shock, and 80s hardcore, Operation Ivy’s two-year existence was brief, but the urgent and chaotic yet uplifting Energy established a ska punk template for decades to come.
