Q: Anyone know any good ska bands? or punk band?
I'll give you a few for each...if that isn't enough, just ask me for more. Most are personal preference.

Ska(None are really "traditonal ska"):
-Big D & The Kids Table
-Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution
-Flaming Tsunamis
-Reel Big Fish (:-D of course)
-Highschool Football Heroes (saw them the other day :-D)
-Catch 22
-Streetlight Manifesto
-Forces of Evil

Now, you have to understand that the genre "punk" has been very distorted in the last few years. When I think punk, I automatically think...
-Ramones
-the Clash
-Sex Pistols
Then again, there were your originaters of the punk genre.
Depends though, I mean look at some of the answers you have recieved. The All American Rejects? I will jump off a cliff the day they are considered "punk." I mean, don't get me wrong, I like the All American Rejects, and Tyson Ritter is one of the most gorgeous guys I have ever laid eyes on. But do you see where I am going with this distortion of genre thing?

It's kinda like the whole "emo" thing. The genre "emo" got blown out of the fucking water. Now it's like, "OMG that guy is singing about being in pain, or cutting his wrists, this must be emo." I don't even know how I switched subjects that quickly, I apologize. I could speil forever.

To get back to my main point...it depends on what kind of punk you are looking for. Are you just looking for lesser known punk bands?

thank you so much for actually knowing something about music. i know a lot about music too and i totally agree with you on everything you said. i hate, hate, hate some of the answers i'm getting. it's kinda fun to laugh at them though. as for the punk bands, i know a lot about the genre, so i'm really just looking for some bands i haven't heard of before. thank you so much!
