True.  Many ska bands have NO horn sections.  Straight fast-paced off-beats
is what makes ska ska.  And ska-core is basically a mixture of punk and ska.
pure ska is like, hmm... not a lot of distorted power chords, just off-beat
guitar, and most of the time pure ska has horns.

 No, it's not really the fault of Mokum. It were Mokum, Charly & Theo,
