Skammentary: Welcome to SKAugust, a less structured fête than SKApril, but thus necessarily one that showcases far less diversity. Once I get into a groove for The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Reel Big Fish, or Less Than Jake, don't be surprised to see five of their songs in an eight-day period. The first SKAugust was fêted in 2017, the twentieth anniversary of 1997, the Summer of Ska, & specifically featured music from the Summer of Ska & its immediate aftermath. Late '90s third-wave ska-punk remains SKAugust's bread & butter, but there is more to a healthy diet than just bread & butter.
"Don't stop skankin'!…"
