We could talk for hours about what bands are skaterock and which are not....how do we classify this; at one point if they sang about skateboarding they were a skaterock band.....well that would mean Avril Levine is a skate rock band......yuk....NEVER!
I am glad the rules have changed though, and there are enough skaters out there to have some mainstream band, rock out about skateboarding, that's a good thing right? ........and does skate rock now include skate rap? who knows?
Thanks to Trasher for making the skaterock albums availible for everyone, and to continue the tradition, with newer released thrasher skaterock albums.
To focus in on some of the great ones and to list a few, Suicidal Tendencies, JFA, Agent Orange, Angry Samoans, The Faction, Gang Green, Big Boys, and US Bombs come to mind, and you cant have skate rock without a shout out to our Canadian bands, Dayglo Abortions,The S.T.R.E.E.T.S. , China Creeps and Blackout 77 , if you want the full selection of great skate rock check http://www.skaterock.com/bands/bands.html for fresh skate rock info.
