yeah, theyre cool. if you like them you're likely to like the band in my sig, just a tip in case you'll ever feel like listening to some (punk-influenced in this case) ska

no. The famous Cali third-wave ska bands have strong punk influences, and some of their songs you can maybe label 'punk with trumpets', but ska basically came from reggae and was started by jamaican musicians in the early 60's long before punk really started. It then became popular in the UK where skinheads (not the nazi ones, the original skinheads) made it big, which was the second wave. The third wave started in the US, probably Cali with bands like the Mad Caddies (check my sig), Reel Big Fish, Sublime, No Doubt and others who mixed a lot of punk into it. Original ska (Desmond Dekker, Laurel Aitken, Prince Buster, Toots & The Maytals etc) is jamaican and sounds alot like reggae and hence very different from the american 90's-now ska-punk stuff. I am more into this newer type too, but still ska ain't just 'punk with trumpets'
