Third wave ska reached the peak of its commercial success between 1995 and 1998. During this period, third wave ska bands such as Cuban B, Sublime, No Doubt, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Catch 22, Reel Big Fish, and Less Than Jake achieved high record sales, mainstream radio play and video rotation on music video networks such as MTV. Christian bands The Supertones and Five Iron Frenzy also achieved notable success in this genre and time period. Between 1999 and 2001, many third wave bands began to break up, while fans of the genre turned their attention to other music genres. Some bands that were part of the third wave ska genre — such as Less Than Jake, Mustard Plug and The Aquabats — continued with less emphasis on horns and traditional ska rhythms, and have not achieved the same commercial success that they experienced earlier in their careers. Since 2001, very few new American ska bands have found the critical or commercial success that third wave ska bands found in the mid 1990s. Catch 22, Reel Big Fish, Streetlight Manifesto, Big D and the Kids Table, Mad Caddies and Buck-O-Nine are among the few ska punk bands that have found acclaim since then.
