Do YOUR Part for the New England Ska Scene

Ska, since the 1950′s, has been an ever changing beast, swallowing fashion trends, political messages, and entire genres of music to grow into what it is today. As the scene expands, history has shown us that nothing is left behind. First wave ska is still alive, unchanged for 50 years. The styles of reggae, rock, punk, jazz, and countless others have left their mark, making it the massive, wondrous, all-encompassing genre that it is. New England and the east coast represent ska finely, with its own sprouting local bands, cover bands keeping classics alive, and large tours that come through the area.

What’s my point, you ask? This site is too large for one person to handle. If the passing weeks with no updates have been any clue as to the state of things at NewEnglandSka.com, my point-blank asking for for your help should be enough. Help this site represent the New England Ska scene with pride.
