Buck-O-Nine

Buck-O-Nine is a San Diego-based ska-punk band who enjoyed popularity as the third wave ska revival reached the mainstream with the success of bands like Rancid and No Doubt. The rebellious attitude of the music and their not-so-subtle sense of humor confirm their punk roots, while the breezy feel of their ska and reggae rhythms and the groove of their horn section show they're committed to the classic 2-Tone Sound. Their third album, 1997's Twenty-Eight Teeth, was a commercial breakthrough and set the stage for several years of successful touring. Following 2007's Sustain, Buck-O-Nine endured a quiet period, returning 12 years later with their ninth studio album, 2019's FunDayMental. It arrived just as various tribulations kept the band from touring, but they still gave fans a taste of their sound on-stage with the live-in-the-studio LP 572 Days Later: Live at Earthling in 2022.
