Ska bands run the gamut. Some are political, some are angst-ridden and some are goofy. (OK, a lot are goofy.) East Bay four-piece Skandalism mix it up a bit. They aren't very political, but they operate from their serious personal side and their wacky side evenly. The group started in 2010, nearly two decades after the '90s ska-punk boom, and play a punk-fueled style of ska that would have fit comfortably on a bill with Suicide Machines, Leftover Crack and Rancid. Like those bands, they put on an energetic live show, but have a carefree spirit about them, even when their lyrics are full of teenage angst.
