Ska might seem like a somewhat insular scene, but in reality, many non-ska musicians have a deep appreciation for the genre, like Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder and Ice Nine Kills' Spencer Charnas. Their recent songs, such as Vedder's cover of The English Beat's 'Save It for Later,' and Ice Nine Kills' ska-infused 'Walking on Sunshine,' showcase this connection.
Author Marc Wasserman, who discusses Vedder's history with ska music, notes that the genre's influence can be seen across various musical styles, highlighting its extensive reach beyond traditional ska circles.
Ice Nine Kills' Spencer Charnas emphasizes how ska's rhythms and melodies allowed them to diversify their sound, demonstrating that elements of ska can enhance heavier genres like metal.
The podcast encourages listeners not only to appreciate ska roots within mainstream music but also to engage with the genre's vibrant community through platforms like the IDOS Patreon.
