I followed two great local Philly ska bands in the nineties, Public Service and Ruder Than You. Great fun.

I’ve always thought of ska as a bunch of people who can’t play anything worth a crap, getting together to bug people.

Guessing I’m a bit older than author Zachary Lipez… I had just entered my teens as the 2 Tone ska revival got me on my feet— and most people had no idea who HW Bush was. They called it a revival because it had been popular decades prior and it was once again.
