So I've started listening to reggae/skaska punk recently, for whatever reasons. Really chill, relaxing stuff. Nonethless, I do not know many good bands in these genre outside of Sublime, Marley, Bedouin Soundclash, Badfish. I tried googling but a bunch of results popped up and I did not really know where to start...
Look up some Chris Murray, Aggrolites, The Stingers ATX, Deal's Gone Bad, Westbound Train, Go Jimmy Go, and 2 1/2 White Guys.
Reggae - Lee "Scratch" Perry, The Congos, The Heptones, Burning Spear, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Max Romeo, and Junior Murvin Ska Punk - Operation Ivy, Less Than Jake (I don't know as many artists in that genre).

The Specials -great band RBF - Beer is one of my favorite songs songs used to listen to it all the time back in college and got people hooked on it at parties. Less than Jake isnt too bad at all Hepcats pretty good as well...I used to listen to Skankin Pickle back in high school I doubt that they are still around though they could be?
