    @Kohltonc
    the wailers and bob marley were actually much more rocksteady influenced than ska in my opinion. as you can tell in much of marley’s solo music. in my mind, ska while jamacian really took off in cuba with singers such as prince buster and laurel aitken.

    @ohxstarryxnight
    you’re just ignorant. research anywhere for ska and you’ll learn of the three waves.this alone is so far un-punk. ska core is punk-ish. aka third wave… i hate ska-core it sounds like garbage.

  3. Kohltonc says:

    @gochira23 Ska started in Jamaica around 1960’s and in fact the wailers were a ska band which i believe included Bob Marley and theres a ska version of One Love i think it is on youtube, but sometime later it started to slow down and thats where reggae came from and obviously Bob Marley went with reggae too and created his own slower version of one love. lol and ohxstarryxnights is wrong about ska being a branch of punk its the other way around ( I did a research project on ska for school lol )

    @gochira23 ska, is an alternative type of music. also ska, is also branch of punk. So ska has more of an aggressiveness to it.

    Wow – thanks for posting this. I saw the Villains many many times back in the early 80’s in London, ON when I went to school there. Even had the EP you speak of, but a roomate stole it!!!!! This brings back so many memories – they were a fantastic party band. Never walked out a gig without a smile on my face!

    @hrdraper
    I’m pretty sure it’s a guy named Dan Cowan. I’ve contacted him before about the tracks on iTunes not being complete.

  16. kirkeat says:

    @gris2195
    yeah i have the same problem. i’ve been trying to track down a better quality version for so long

  17. gris2195 says:

    Beats me, perhaps if someone with the right connections could pull a few strings so i could enjoy a decent copy on my portable… after all i payed for it for no other reason than out of respect to the artists.

  18. hrdraper says:

    Who put them up there like that, and is making money from it?

  19. gris2195 says:

    Bought this EP off itunes store, a shame the four songs I recieved are quite poor quality with parts of intro missing… anyone had the same problem with the itunes release?

    @elephungus73
    actually it was, ska > rock steady > reggae

  24. elephungus73 says:

    Rock steady > Ska > Reggae that was the progression

  25. deshuetsito says:

    Yes, because ska is the predecessor of the rocksteady, reggae and ragga muffin
