The (Orange County) Supertones - Supertones Strike Back

This is the first ska album I ever heard, and to this day it's still my favorite. If you like ska, and you haven't heard this, do yourself a favor and get it right now. Half of it is regular third-wave ska and the other half is that type of third wave ska where they rap over it. Surprisingly, both parts of the album are equally good. Oh, and the bass lines are sweet too.

Random - Necrophonic Zombie Rocket

Random is a band whose members used to go to my old high school. Then they graduated and broke up. This was their last album. It's full of awesomeness and good times. It's a hybrid of funk and ska with some weird touches and a keyboard thrown in for good measure. Their bass player is really really good. Enjoy.
