ska-punk
Horns meet thrash
Ska-punk blends the fast, aggressive sound of punk rock with ska's offbeat rhythms and horn sections.
The style emerged in the 1980s and peaked commercially in the 1990s with bands like Rancid, Less Than Jake, and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones.
Their ska-punk sound packed clubs across the country.
