Put3ska was a Filipino ska band formed in 1993. The band's name is word play, combining the Filipino phrase, putres ka ("damn you") and "ska". The band referred to itself as a "60s to 2-tone ska-oriented , 90s ska band, influenced by both Jamaican and British ska".[2]

Albums and awards

The band released their first self-titled album eponymous Put3ska in 1994.[1] The album carried the hit single Manila Girl, which earned the group a gold record award. That same year, the band was voted Best New Artist, Best Live Act and Myra Rauro voted Best Vocalist during the 1995 NU Rock Awards; the music video for Manila Girl was also nominated at the 1996 MTV Video Music Awards as Viewers' Choice For Asia.[2]

The second album, Manila's Finest was released in 1996.[1] It featured original material, some in the Tagalog language, as well as a cover version of the classic ska hit My Boy Lollipop by Millie Small[2] and a Northern Soul Classic Tainted Love by Gloria Jones.
