Do The Dog Press Release This young 4 piece crew draw wide ranging influence from the likes of King Tubby & Augustus Pablo through to The Specials, Bad Brains & Operation Ivy & their highly infectious sound fuses together elements of chilled out dubby reggae with fast skanking 2 tone & blazing skacore. Although only in their line up for about a year The Skints have already notched up loads of gigs in & around London's squats, pubs & clubs & picked up some Radio 1 airplay for their first demo thanks to Mike Davies' Punk Show.

Choking Victim was an American punk band from 1992 to 1999, formed in New York City. The band became notable around "C-squat," in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, where they squatted and continue to inhabit and organize shows for their music, which blended ska punk with black metal, and anarchist lyrics. They also became known for Satanic imagery and numerous references to the vagrant lifestyle, such as crack-smoking, shoplifting, and squatting. They also, like many other bands in the punk scene, have violent anti-police sentiments in their songs.

There are at least ten bands named Downfall (you'd think at least one of them would change their name). (1) Californian Punk band
Downfall was a ska and punk band from the Bay Area formed by Tim Armstrong, Matt Freeman, Dave Mello, Pat Mello, and Jason Hammon following the break-up of Operation Ivy in 1989 and pre-dating Armstrong's and Freeman's wider recognition in Rancid. They performed three shows at Gilman over a period of three months: one of these shows was recorded. for more info check out http://www.operationivy.com/downfall.php
