There is a band from Warrington called Drop Science. They are fantastic but don't think they are registered on here unfortunately

SkaNation are a crackin Ska band, (if they are still going). They used to pop up on here quite regularly.

@RFB
I did see SkaNation but saw they'd not logged in since 09.

Thanks for all your recommendations, I'll pass info on.

I could be wrong but I think Ska Nation split and a lot of them went on to form Ska Face.

Ska Nation are no more, but I echo what other people have posted above. Skaface, fantastic band and good friends of mine.
