People have been really helpful. I have one more request for info. Are there any OI bands or traditional ska bands that are Christian? It's not there are traditional ska bands or Oi bands with lyrics that are too crazy. I just wonder if there are any Christian bands.
 
Hmm... The Deal, on that list i gave you had an oi sound. I think Jesus Skins may have been kind of sXe/oi. But German lyrics, haha.

Far as ska the most traditional band i know of is The Isrealites. The refer to themselves as 'ska/rocksteady/reggae'. Good stuff.
If you're looking for more punk/ska there's The OC Supertones, The Insyderz, Five Iron Frenzy, Mojo and October Light. Hmm.. i know there were more, but off the top of my head, that's all i have.

Also check out The W's. They were kind of ska/punk/swing. Kind of goofy youth group type lyrics, but cool music.
And there is Denver & The Mile High Orchestra. They are more of a swing band. But they kind of had an identity crisis, doing both radio rock and swing. I think they eventually went the way of radio rock, but they had some awesome swing songs. Not a great singer, he took a little getting used to, but they still had some cool stuff. Look for Act The Scat album.
 
Okay sounds good. And I like the traditional ska and rocksteady. The new ska punk hybrid is not my thing. One exception is the mighty mighty bosstones though.
 
the Jesus Skins awesome and the Israelites are awesome. That reminded me of desmond dekker because the search hit on that old desmond dekker song. I have that Trojan box set that has all that old ska and rocksteady.
