An explanation of ska waves

C Fish

There’s a lot of discussion and questions concerning what is ska kids mean when we talk about waves in ska music. This isn’t meant to be THE answer on all that as there is much disagreement, th following is just my answer. To start, ska has been existing and evolving since its inception in early 1960’s or late 1950’s Jamaica. The wave simply represents a period of time when the genre enjoyed extreme popularity and seeped into mainstream culture. The first wave was from the early 60’s until around 66 came along. In 66 there was an extraordinarily hot summer … Continue reading An explanation of ska waves

A Defense Of Ska

C Fish

So those of us who were into ska in the early to mid 2000’s (I got into it in 1998 off of Bosstones Let’s Face It) have had to suffer through countless hipsters and supposed punks telling us we’re not cool. First off, who the fuck is cool in the underground scene? We’re all the weirdos, nerds and freaks to begin with, so spike your hair and check yourself. Next, fuck everyone one of those magazines. People who clearly can’t songwrite (why else are they music critics?) Have absolutely no business telling anyone what is or isn’t cool since they’re … Continue reading A Defense Of Ska

Anarcho Punk Albums book review

C Fish

The first publishing from long time punk site punkonline.co.uk came across my desk. It was a great read packed with a large amount of info from the pioneers of anarcho punk. This book consists of interviews with the bands covering their founding andbthe road to these seminal debut albums such as Crass’s Feeding of the 5000 and Subhumans day the country died. It was freaking great. 20 years ago when I got into punk those were 2 of my first albums. It also covers Zounds and Icons of Filth. The book is fairly cheap or free to read on Kindle … Continue reading Anarcho Punk Albums book review

Welcome to the American Fall

C Fish

The new Anti-Flag album dropped today. It’s the most stoked I’ve been on a new punk album in years. I saw them live a couple weeks back. The new one is a call to action against the neo-liberal order of the previous 8 years and this alt-right status quo the rose of Trump has given us. Stand out track on this is When The Wall Falls. Anti-Flag wrote a kick ass ska track. This is the album we need now. From us old dogs who may feel a bit jaded to the scared kid that may be gay, trans or … Continue reading Welcome to the American Fall

Skate Life

C Fish

Vehicles and oblivious pedestrians are a potential enemy. Texting and riding is treason. When you’re out you scan for new spots. It’s not some toy, it can be how you get around as much as an outlet. It leads to injury and adventure. You’ve learned some creative first aid. You may by about tech and trick and I may be speed in style, but we’re in it together. Security guards who don’t get it are a drag. Those who do are our enablers. You don’t “grow out of it” if you’re real. If you ever age out you’ll still smile … Continue reading Skate Life

Fish Tank #34 Close But No Cigar: Millencolin

C Fish

Fish Tank #34 Close But No Cigar: Millencolin Starting in 1992 out of Orebro, Sweden was the flag ship band for Burning Heart records and one of the first skate punk bands I went crazy over, Millencolin. Their name is taken from a skate trick named Melancholy. These guys are an amazing blend of some heart wrenching lyrics and straight shredding. Well, for those of ya who don’t know these guys, let’s solve that problem. 1994 saw the debut album Tiny Tunes. This was initially released in Europe on Epitaph’s sub label Burning Heart. When it was released in the … Continue reading Fish Tank #34 Close But No Cigar: Millencolin

Maty’s Corner #33 I Was Wasted and Became Damaged! Black Flag

C Fish

Maty’s Corner #33 I Was Wasted and Became Damaged! Black Flag               Starting in 1976 Hermosa Beach, CA was Black Flag. That’s right; the most influential hard core band predates most punk. Though from 76 to late 78 they were known as Panic. This amazing unit has burned through more people than an urban wild fire and their influence on both punk rock and skate boarding has had the same effect and intensity. Their ranks have included some of the South Bay scene’s heaviest hitters, including the Descendent’s Bill Stevenson on drums for five years. So drop in and … Continue reading Maty’s Corner #33 I Was Wasted and Became Damaged! Black Flag
