The Assassinators, "Bottle Down" from the American Skathic II: More Ska from America's Breadbasket! compilation (via YouTube) (Rude Boy Mike Papa Whiskey)
Skammentary: Ska-link. This is all one YouTube video, not a playlist; if you don't want to listen to the whole thing, or don't have the time to do so, "Bottle Down" begins at 24:12.
The Assassinators were my Twitter pal Bravo Charlie's short-lived band from Cleveland ("late 93 to early 95"). I've heard my friends, Flint's own The Loose Ties, on the 23 Minutes of Ska podcast; it's interesting to note both how big & how small the ska world is.
Love them or hate them, ska puns are a part of the genre, thus Grand Wood's far-famed, often-imitated picture American Gothic was parodied as "American Skathic."
