 | | Many of the popular ska bands were signed to Moon Records and the label boomed to be to ska music what Epitaph Records is to punk and Victory Records is to hardcore. | | | Most of the spread of the third wave of ska should be attributed to the bands that played music that borrowed from ska. | | | These bands avoided pop, punk and funk styles of ska and instead stuck to the original ska sound. |

| | Third wave of ska - definition of Third wave of ska in Encyclopedia |
| | The third wave of ska music (ska punk, skacore) arose in the 1990s in the United States. | | | The biggest-selling American bands of the movement were The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and No Doubt, both of whom fused ska with rock to the point of losing almost all elements of Jamaican music in their recordings. | | | As well, bands like the Mad Caddies are blending third-wave ska with klezmer and blues to create unique music. |

| | Ska is the rollicking, raucous music that perfectly summed up the mood of the people as they approached Independence at the beginning of the 1960s and wanted to announce their Jamaicanness with as much gusto as possible. | | | As the ultimate good times music (energetic and rebellious), ska was the obvious choice to be married to the British punk scene. | | | Bluebeat was the term used for ska by hip 60s London because many of the records were on the Blue Beat label. |

| | Ska for the Skeptical |
| | by the time third-wave ska exploded in the mid-90s, any musical connections to coxsone dodd, desmond dekker, and the like were indistinguishable amongst cheesy guitar distortion, clichéd punk drumbeats, and grating, soul-less vocal performances. | | | ska reached its peak during the mid-1960s, when jamaican musicians reached an unprecedented level of recording and performing. | | | a key misconception of ska's sound is that it is singularly defined by the presence of horns and an annoyingly monotonous upstroked guitar. |

| | Ska music's first wave was hatched in the early '60s in Jamaica by bands like the Skatalites and Toots and the Maytels. | | | Ska was born as dance music, a hybrid of rhythm and blues, jazz and calypso, for the working class people of Jamaica. | | | They are inspired by the Skatalites and use the slower, root-based sound in their music. |

The double A-side "Little Sheila" / "Boogie in my Bones" was the first single released on Chris Blackwell's Island Records, one of the first ever ska records, and the first Jamaican recording ever released in England. |

| | Ska enjoyed a brief and popular revival in the U.K. during the late '70s and early '80s, thanks to the enthusiasm of many British punk fans for reggae records, and the skipping, infectious ska beat in particular. | | | A more rock-oriented take on ska became popular in the U.S. during the '90s, although it was much farther removed from the music's Jamaican origins than the British version had been. | | | This was essentially the birth of ska, and that rhythmic emphasis continued to dominate Jamaican music for decades to come. |
