Heh, I used to be in a ska band, but it's always amazing the sheer number of people who say "What's ska?" Ah well, more for me...or something.
But there's also the Christian ska bands which are pretty good as well. Five Iron Frenzy (Every New Day is a song of theirs to check out) has a lighter style and a tendancy towards silliness; Insyderz are a bit on the metal side at times and the Supertones have good all-around sound, and their bassist is awesome (although he left the band a year ago). FiF broke up last year and Insyderz haven't made an album for years...I think all sorts of ska is just not being popular anymore. Doesn't mean I don't enjoy it.
Oh, and if you're more into swing/ska, check out Hipster Daddy-O and the Hand Grenades. Such good stuff, but good luck finding their music; I stumbled on it in a swing pack I downloaded, but haven't seen them in stores anywhere.
