Wow, this band just screams "We're from New Jersey!" The Gaslight Anthem borrows influences from songwriters such as Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and (obviously) Bruce Springsteen and adds a 50s flair and a punk rock edge. The sound might seem unique, but I really wouldn't call it something special. However don't let that discourage you. The magic of The '59 Sound lies with the unbelievable catchiness of the songs. After only two or three listens, I could remember every single track on this album, especially songs such as "Great Expectations" and "The Patient Ferris Wheel." The Gaslight Anthem is certainly a band to watch out for, especially since their next album, American Slang, is set to be released on June 15.1) Great Expectations2) The '59 Sound3) Old White Lincoln4) High Lonesome5) Film Noir6) Miles Davis and the Cool7) The Patient Ferris Wheel8) Casanova, Baby!9) Even Cowgirls Get the Blues10) Meet Me by the River's Edge11) Here's Looking At You Kid12) The BackseatMyspaceDownload
"All I know is that I don't know, all I know is that I don't know nothing." Operation Ivy is regarded as one of the most important bands of the third wave of ska. Despite their extremely short career, they have certainly made their name known in the music industry. Operation Ivy created a strong foundation for the ska punk sound that would be used by and built upon by numerous bands in the 90s. After the band broke up, guitarist Tim Armstrong and bassist Matt Freeman went on to form Rancid. Operation Ivy's only album Energy was released on vinyl as a 19 song album and rerelased on CD with the Hectic EP and other tracks as a bonus.1) Knowledge2) Sound System3) Jaded4) Take Warning5) The Crowd6) Bombshell7) Unity8) Vulnerability9) Bankshot10) One of these Days11) Gonna Find You12) Bad Town13) Smiling14) Caution15) Freeze Up16) Artificial Life17) Room Without a Window18) Big City19) Missionary20) Junkie's Runnin' Dry21) Here We Go Again22) Hoboken23) Yellin in my Ear24) Sleep Long25) Healthy Body26) Officer27) I Got NoMyspaceDownload

Fishbone is an essential band for anyone interested in ska. This all-black Californian band fuses third-wave ska with a brand of funky punk similar to Faith No More and early Red Hot Chili Peppers. Fishbone's self-titled EP, also their first recorded material ever, contains the ska classic "Party At Ground Zero," which is one of the band's most popular tracks. Another album recommended is Fishbone's 1988 album Truth and Soul, which features a calmer, yet still incredibly fun, version of the band.1) Ugly2) Another Generation3) ?
