The third wave of ska music (ska punk, skacore) arose in the 1990s in the United States. Bands like Sublime (40 Oz. to Freedom) and No Doubt (Tragic Kingdom) drew off the influences of English two-tone ska revivalists from the early eighties, especially The Specials, as well as a few 80s pioneers from the United States like Operation Ivy.
The biggest-selling American bands of the movement were The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and No Doubt, both of whom fused ska with rock to the point of losing almost all elements of Jamaican music in their recordings.
There are still a few skacore bands around, most notably the Voodoo Glow Skulls.
Recently ska-core has begun to re-emerge, especially in Quebec, fused with jazz and traditional folk music. This strange genre can be seen in bands such as Les Trois Accords. As well, bands like the Mad Caddies are blending third-wave ska with klezmer and blues to create unique music.
