Share youtube, songwhip, spotify, bandcamp links, music memes, album art, articles, whatever! But avoid links to directly download music (don't want to get Lemmy.world in trouble). Songwhip links always appreciated!

See this post on recs on how to post!

The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.

We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

Wow just had a flash back to when I saw them in Hollywood doing a gig and I was the only English person in the crowd so had some good fun interacting with the band and the poor Yanks didn't get 90% of it ;)

Flashbacks to when I was an awkward 16/17 y/o and only joined the dancers on the floor when a Twin-Tone ska band was played. Madness, The Specials, The Beat, Bad Manners, Selector. And the Untouchables, an LA ska band with a killer live show. And later Fishbone, of course.

Good times.

You are thinking of the 2Tone record label. although twin tone looks pretty legit in its own right

Oh yah, right, right.

The Replacements were on twin tone (at first).
