The Skoidats - The Times


I felt that a Montana Skanker should review a Montana Ska band.The Times is a magnificent album and a must for any Traditional Ska fan, Oi fan, or Punk fan. The album features catchy ska and oi and some great Skunk. Last Night and the Times are two of the highlights on a CD that is full of them. Also be sure to check the remake of the the Clancy brothers BEER! Not To many times for me to take an advantage like this.

The Skoidats - A Cure For What Ales You


This album is most def a classic if you are into oi or ska. I used to not like ska (Still don't like most of that poppy stuff), but this album is worth picking up. Although their other album is better (The Times), I still play this one frequently. Trust me, if you want to get into ska, especially if you are a crusty gutter dwelling punk, this is a good transition record. True rootsy ska at it's finest!
