In the second episode of our series Under the Influence, we examine the late-70s ska revival in the UK, a movement built upon the fusion of punk rock and traditional ska. Led by the Specials, we look at how the cultural climate of the time period in the UK inspired the founding of 2 Tone Records and how that led to the ska movement in the 80s and 90s.
Under the Influence looks into some of the most important music scenes of our time, exploring the people, bands, and styles that changed the course of music forever. Narrated by modern day punk legend Tim Armstrong (Rancid, Operation Ivy, Transplants), Noisey delves deep into the worlds of New York Hardcore, British 2Tone Ska, and German Krautrock to find how these scenes were created, and how they continue to shape art, music, and culture today. Join us as we circle the globe to meet to everyone from x to y, to witness life under the influence.

I'll never forget being introduced to Ska in 8th grade. This girl had Ska written on her notebook. I asked " what is skuh " she laughed said Ska and handed me her Walkman cassette player with an English Beat song playing. I still listen to a lot of Ska and i'm 50 years young. Ska !!!

2 tone ska is about the greatest argument for promoting and embracing immigration and integration that I have ever come across. Racial, cultural, ethnic, integration always seems to produce mind-bogglingly good and creative results, food, art, ideas. The kind nobody can even predict or imagine.

I feel like modern Japanese ska is sort of the next evolution of the genre. Bands like Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, Cool Wise Men, The Miceteeth, Beat Sunset etc. It seems that Japanese ska has a strong jazz influence but other genres too, and yet it still has an old school kind of sound somehow. Ska hasn't developed much in the West over the last 15 years, at least for now.

Or "Rumah Sajah"(My home) which is about indonesean people living in the netherlands having a tough time adapting. (Doe Maar vocalist and keyboard player Ernst janzs is from Indonesian heritage But also "Nachtmerrie op hol" (Nightmare on the loose) amd "Dansen met Alice" (Dancing with Alice) where they put themselves on one par with those English bands but never broke big outside the Netherlands or Belgium because of their choice to sing in Dutch.

Ska came to life in my hood, shy south of Oakcliff - in the borders. Heavy tirals man. Kids man, fighting for our right to live and love and be with our friends, fighting gangers and goose steppers - Heavy crip lifestyle there, but dirty south ideals. Ska got the punks and they came to us like, hey man, lets get together and make a space we can survive in. Kids stop seeing colour when their parents are struggling together, too. We all had it. I rep oakcliff every day, but not the anarchy so much as the unity. people fighting to work together.

Wow, this is fantastic. Thanks for covering the current wave of foreign bands too! Would have been cool to see Tokyo Ska Jazz Ensemble in there (they have like 20 albums lol).
