Vanzetti Crime [USA]



late 2007 - early 2009 [RIP]
Awesome ska punk/ska-core/crack rock band from Salt Lake City, Utah. For a short life of the band they created around 18 songs, pretty different and most of them i like a lot. I think their music is fresh and unique. And only 43 listeners on last.fm. That's bad!

Members: : Erin Tooke - vocals; Mike Westbrook - guitar/vocals; Austin Wood - bass; Trey Bird - drums.

They released 2 3-track EP's: Communicating Through Bombs in 2007 and ...All We Have in 2008. In december 2008 they recorded full-length. Im not sure if it's self-titled or titled Unity (maybe, they changed the name to Unity when it appeared on Salty Hobo Records), but it includes all tracks from EP's except 10 Year Plan. Actually the album i got has 16 songs instead of 18, so im a lil confused. But i thought i should share this extra rare stuff anyway)

Silly Snails [Belgium]



2004-PRESENT
A ska punk/ska-core band from Mamur, Belgium. Melodic, catchy, for those who like horns.

Members: Jeff - guitar/back vocals; Dav' - vocals/guitar; Duf - bass; Jerome - sax;
Renaud - trumpet; Api - drums; Jerry - trombone.

In 2006 they released Demo "La Fouine Masquee" which i don't have.
But i don't think it is as good as these two releases. New EP is nice and the most part of Sillyvisation is great too.

O.A.G [Colombia]



2002-PRESENT
O.A.G (Over All Grooves) is a band from Bogota. They play ska-core with saxophone and trombone, with dub elements and sometimes female vocals.
Imho a pretty fresh sound for a latin american ska-core scene.

I suppose, that's all they ever released.
