Pick It Up!: Ska in the '90s

Absolutely loved this movie. Have seen plenty of documentaries about 1st wave ska and how the music was started. But have yet to see any documentary with ska bands from this erra. So well put together as well. If you are into ska, punk, oi any kind of subgenre within this music scene you need to watch this movie!

This is an awesome movie. Features The Aquabats Reel Big Fish and many more. A must have, so go....Pick It Up!

Basically the rise and fall of the pop/punk ska Bands "that made it".

Otherwise left pretty much everything else out of it. A big let down for something I was really looking forward to watching.

Whether you're into music, ska, or good documentaries... This such a good movie! It's fun, good music, good animations, telling the history of ska, a variety of the more famous ska bands and what happened. It's even good to have playing in the background it's that good!

I genuinely don't see how anyone not find it enjoyable. It doesn't cover every ska band or every aspect... But it covers enough to appeal to the masses including music fans and people who have no idea what it is.

They interviewed celebrities and people on the street. Lots of famous people in this, and the interview questions were very good and meaningful.

I've seen it 8 times and I've shown it to 6. Everyone has thoroughly enjoyed it.

It's been a long time coming for a documentary on third wave sk, and I sat down with a lot of excitement to watch this. However as it went on it became clear that for a ska fan it was just another documentary about its origins, and how it developed into the mainstream. There felt like a lot of bands missing who made a big impact and as usual stuck to the same old like less than Jake, bosstones, mustard plug etc. There was also no reference to the UK third wave scene which had a huge influence on the USA scene in the later 90s and early 00s such as farse, capdown, random hand. And would have also been great to have covered the Christian scene with bands such as five iron frenzy and oc supertones.
