NS seems to be pretty enthusiastic about different types of music, what about ska? Favorite bands?
Mine is Streetlight Manifesto, for ska anyways.

Ska is awesome. My favorite ska bands are probably common rider, big d and the kids table, operation ivy, and the original catch 22. keasbey nights is definitely my favorite album.

lovin' the English Beat icon by the way. Not a big fan of big D, and I like the new Catch 22 better. Streetlight's Keasbey was so much better in my opinion.

And I forgot i take my favorite band back. Mine's the Supervillains

I rock ska. I listen to Reel Big Fish, NOFX, Mustard Plug, Catch 22, the Mighty Bosstones, and Streetlight Manifesto

Got to see NOFX in concert and Streetlight Manifesto.

The Resignators kick ass. I saw them a month or so ago, such a good show... I skanked too hard and puked... http://www.myspace.com/#!/theresignators/music/playlists/my-playlist-24538     Sins of the Father is easily one of my favourite songs, ever

Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution also slay, Tomas Kalnoky is a genious...

+K for BOTAR

and sorry guys, but although I respect your opinion on Keasbey Nights, I think Streetlight's is so much better. Tom Kalnoky, who was the mastermind and lead singer for both even agrees.

I've seen streetlight 4 times now, and I'm seeing then with Real Big Fish (who i've seen once) together this summer

I've also listened to the pietasters, but mainly a streetlight fan

I love SKA. My favorites are Aquabats and RBF. I've seen RBF in concert. In High School, SKA was big around Seattle and my boyfriend was in a SKA band, so I got to see a lot of local stuff. Not anymore, though...

Best show I've ever been to: RBF, The English Beat, The Supervillains, and Honeycreeper. Went for about 5 hours. So epic.
