Ready to have have a look at the Official Ska & Reggae Video nominations for March 2015? Here they are.
The Bluebeaters are the best when it comes to Original Ska versions of pop or rock songs. After last year’s fantastic “Toxic”, the band from Italy cover “Roll With It” by Oasis now. A new album has been released on 13 April 2015 (Record Kicks).
Backbeat Soundsystem from England play a laid-back Reggae style. “Come Undone” is taken from the cool album ‘Together not Apart’ (Easy Star Records).
The Stiff Joints from England take inspiration from lots of different styles including Punk, Reggae and Vaudeville. CAM is taken from the fantastic EP “Circus On Repeat.”
With Gipsyska the name says it all. The band, formerly known as Antwerp Gipsy Ska Orchestra, also have a new album out (in Feb 15) called Kilo Gipsyska.”
As always, I highly recommend you take the time and watch all videos. You won’t regret it. They are all embedded in this article, or watch them in our “Video Of The Year 2015” playlist.

Hi Mochammad,
thanks a lot for the additions. Sorry, I could not add them for the “Video Of The Month” poll, I didn’t have computer time over the weekend. I’ll definitely check with you before the next polls. You are always so well informed. I have added the videos to our “Video Of The Year” playlist, though. Funny that I couldn’t find the “Smart Girl” video of The Ska Banton, when I was specifically looking for videos by this band for the “Album Of The Month” poll. There were only live videos to be found. Some strange search engine problem I guess. Thanks again, cheers, Joachim
