optimodub Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 the music i love is punk and reggae, but i mostly go to soul/funk clubs, never punk nights (they're always shite) so i'm after some fucked up punk with a bit of soul, funk or reggae in it, some of the bands i've found so far have been... MC5...obviously mAKE uP...fucking amazing Dub Narcotic...can never find their stuff, what's the best to order? The Slits...3-piece woman band playing punky reggae? perfect P.I.L....what's the best to get? Liquid Liquid...saw them live last month, amazing and a few more of the early 80's New York Noise, UK punk/dub crossover type bands, but the soul/punk thing is what i'm after now, from any era, any suggestions would be grand, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimboTheLion Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 I could mention Mad Caddies, but I'm not sure if they're what you're looking for..They mix ska and punk, with the whole trumpet and trombone thingy going on. It's really good, so if you're into punk you should check the out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villain Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 He didn't mention Ska. I know alotta old ska/punk or I used to call it skunk. Some scenesters were saying that nobody listens to ska anymore..... What's up with that!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimboTheLion Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Originally posted by villain Henobody listens to ska anymore..... What's up with that!? Bah. Ska rules. Too many bands mix ska and punk, making it sound sucky. Mad Caddies is surely one of the bands that pulls it off without a doubt. Bosstones aswell. I think that you should seperate ska and punk when making music. Ska is happy, punk's not. Fuck people should listen to more ska! Slackers, Specials (2-tone maybe..), Skanksters etc. I could go on forever.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

optimodub Posted August 12, 2003 Author Share Posted August 12, 2003 Subhumans...fucking love them (if you mean the UK ones, haven't heard the Canadian Subhumans) and the singer's 2 bands after them, Culture Shock and Citizen Fish, don't usually like ska punk at all, but they did it well, the only other is Operation Ivy of course Black Flag...probably my favourite US punk Dead Kennedys...supposed to play here few months ago, but it was cancelled here for some reason, had no intention of seeing them anyway, no Jello no show Sizzla...just got the Black Woman & Child track, nice stuff, need to hear more DJ Shadow...one of the artists who i have to have EVERYTHING by, genius Rage Against The Machine/Red Hot Chilli Peppers/Living Colour...no chance, the rock/metal doesn't do it for me Lee Perry King Tubby Linval Thompson Wayne Smith The Skatalites John Holt Horace Andy U-Roy Gregory Isaacs Dennis Brown Augustus Pablo...love all them but don't know this stuff...Billy Boyo Barrington Levy Nigger Kojack Freddie McGregor Michigan & Smiley Don Carlos Cocoa Tea...i've still to try some dancehall and my mate is seriously into his soul and funk, especially Northern Soul stuff, so got that covered and Liquid Liquid did a one-off reunion in New York so their relatives and whatever could see what they missed out on all those years ago, or something like that, and it went so well they decided to do 2 or 3 more in Europe, so saw one of those, amazing, so tight though, sounded exactly like they do on record anyway, i know my punk and reggae, what i'm still really after is another band who can do soul fired punk as good as mAKE-Up did it, what a fucking band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimodub Posted August 12, 2003 Author Share Posted August 12, 2003 and i forgot to mention the outstanding Primal Scream, a bunch of Scottish nutters who've been around for over 15 years, don't know if they're well known in the US, but they've done indie, techno, dub, reggae, hip-hop, funk, punk, jazz, blues, just about everything, working with the likes of Dan The Automator, Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine, Augustus Pablo, David Holmes, George Clinton, Adrian Sherwood, Andy Weatherall, Jah Wobble of P.I.L., Bernie Summer of New Order, and even have Kate Moss singing on their last album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Boyo- One Spliff A Day (he was 13 when he got shot and killed) Barrington Levy- Under Mi Sensi Nigger Kojack & Horace Andy- Green Bay Killing Freddie McGregor- Roots Man Skankin Michigan & Smiley- Diseases Don Carlos- Spread Out Cocoa Tea- Rocking Dolly ^^^^All these are early dancehall.
