From my tape trading days of the late '90s here's Tape 425. It contains some good street punx in the form of Choking Victim, The Banned, Disenchanted, Violent Society, The Krays, Public Nuisance, Suicidal Supermarket Trollies, uno from Kill Your Idols and a couple from Oi Polloi. As a side note over here in yankee doodle land supermarket trolleys are called carts, but not in my household! May the trolleys roll forever.
Choking Victim play some ska which I am not usually fond of but these guys had their hearts in the right places which A+ lyrics. From NYC and this was released in 1996. Some in the band went on to form Leftover Crack who aren't bad either.

The Krays may also be thought of in the ska camp, but here they play some nifty, tight, fast rockin' toons, except for the last one which in which they skank around and put me to sleep.

The band held up signs to help the crowd sing along, but most looked like they were extremely inebriated. There was some great air guitars by some local punks using mops and brooms.
