With all the street festivals in Barcelona, I saw a bunch of ska bands. The flavor is a bit different than I was used to in California. Back there when I heard bands like Reel Big Fish, and Suburban Legends the songs were more fun and games. Suburban Legends played in Downtown Disney. In Barcelona, ska and punk are the styles that young people use to be political. One group was pro Catalan independence, another yells grievances against the police. Not only are these kids more well informed, but they also play kickass music to spread the word. Back in Cali punk used to be like that, but now pop punk is all about skateboarding and girls (which I enjoyed).
