Put3ska

**Put3ska** is a Filipino ska band that emerged in the late 1990s as part of the Philippines’ vibrant OPM (Original Pilipino Music) scene. Known for their energetic fusion of ska, punk, and traditional Filipino musical elements, the group carved out a niche with their upbeat rhythms and cheeky, socially conscious lyrics. Their name plays on local slang ("putik" means "mud," with the "3" adding a quirky twist), reflecting their grounded, relatable vibe and DIY ethos. Though not as widely recognized as some mainstream acts, Put3ska built a loyal following for their live shows and genre-blending creativity.

Their releases, including *Manila's Finest* and contributions to compilations like *OPM Timeless Collection Gold Series 4*, showcase their knack for blending ska’s bounce with Pinoy rock sensibilities. While details about their lineup and later career are sparse, their music remains a fun snapshot of the late-’90s/early-2000s Philippine alternative scene, celebrating both local culture and global ska-punk influences.
