There is a reason people say that white folks have no soul.

I've realized that generally these cracker bands play ska too fast, too clean, and too mechanically. They're almost always lacking any sort of groove, and their drummers are sort of just keeping the beat, not contributing towards the sound. Dorayne described them as music school students who dropped out before they learned how to break the music theory rules.

Examples? The Allstonians, The Agents, Easy Big Fella, Skavoovie and The Epitones
Exceptions? The Pietasters, The Gadjits, The Slackers
Honorable mention: The Aggrolites, who while not a ska band per se, have got more soul and groove than most any ska band out there that isn't Hepcat.
