* NotChristianRock: Reportedly, the members themselves couldn't agree if they were a Christian band or not.

The Dingees are a {{Reggae}}[=/=]PunkRock[=/=]{{Ska}} band from Long Beach, California. They were initially formed in 1996 as a side project of The OCSupertones (and traded band members with the 'Tones more than a few times), but soon grew into a distinct identity. Unlike nearly all of their [[SkaPunk 3rd wave ska]] contemporaries, they played [[Music/TheClash Clash]]-inspired GenreRoulette rather than [[NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly mix and match musical genres]]: their repertoire included punk songs, and reggae songs, and ska songs (but mostly punk songs), yet but precious little ska-punk or punk-reggae or what have you.

* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: ''The Rebel Soul Sound System''.

* {{Sampling}}: All over the place in ''Rebel Soul Sound System''. For example, "Who Stole the Soul in Rock N Roll" combines samples from ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'', Music/TheBeatles, and PublicEnemy, and somehow makes them all fit seamlessly.

They recorded three albums in this schizophrenic manner for Tooth & Nail Records. Afterwards, they disappeared into the southern California underground music scene. In 2006, they put up a page on Myspace to let the outside world know that they still existed, and that they were working on a new album.

The lyrics were the same as they always were: rallying cries for global unity and the overthrow of the establishment, songs of alienation from modern society, celebrations of street culture, and ruminations on God and the [[TheBible Biblical]] apocalypse.

* HiddenTrack: ''Armageddon Massive'' has a dub remix of "Could be Worse" at the end. ''The Crucial Conspiracy'' has "Conspiracy Against the Youth'' hidden in the ''middle'' of the album.
