Bim Skala Bim is a ska band formed in Boston that was influenced by the bands in England's two-tone movement, as well as artists such as the Clash, UB40 and Bob Marley. Their "Boston Blue Beat" sound, a mix of upbeat two-tone ska, rock 'n' roll, and calypso, made them, along with The Toasters, some of the first bands in the third wave of ska in the 1980s.
