Ska-Punk

The Ska - Punk is a crossover style of ska and punk rock. A subgenre of ska punk Skacore is, is mixed with the ska with hardcore punk. The transition between the two is blurred.

Description

Ska - punk combines punk rock style with elements of Ska, such as the use of wind instruments or the offbeat rhythm. The varieties of ska punk vary. The more punk -influenced variant usually involves a rapid pace, distorted guitar sounds, located in the rhythm recordings in the classic punk style (often in the chorus ), rougher and geschriener singing.

In the more ska -influenced version of the ska-punk, the instruments are mostly " clean" played; the song is here little rough to "normal" ( clean). The instruments usually electric guitar, electric bass, drums, saxophones, trombones, trumpets and other wind instruments are used. Due to the connection with the punk movement, the lyrics are traditionally politically left to settle.

History

In the late 1970s, the first time the style elements of ska and punk in the two -tone movement were combined; first bands of the genre 2-tone were such as The Specials, The Selecter and The Beat. The combination of the two directions was known during the wave of third wave ska in the 1980s. As the movement of the Third Wave Ska grew, other varieties were tried. Ska - punk was so from the third wave ska, which was played much faster, as well as elements of punk.

As one of the first bands in the United States played the end of the 1980s, Operation Ivy this style. In Germany cliché played in 1980 punk rock with strong ska and calypso influences. Became popular ska-punk in the 1990s, especially in the U.S. by bands like Five Iron Frenzy or the Operation Ivy successor band Rancid. The mid- 1980s created the band The Mighty Mighty Bosstones to Skacore by mixed third wave ska with hardcore punk.

In recent years, the texts have lost more and more radical and devote themselves without real political backgrounds more the fun and the problems of young people.
