DUB 56 is the toaster's most groovy album. The 1994 line-up with Coolie Ranx as the second singer and the wind section - which has since migrated to the NY Ska & Jazz ensemble - was expanded with the saxophone of Lester Sterling (Skatalites) and the sexy voice of Mo Asumang (Love, Sin). Together with the first re-released live recordings of the Skavoovee '93 Festival in L.A. for the first time in years, this LP with a total playing time of 75 minutes is a must for every collection.

Second studio album by the Münster band from 2006 - a high-quality mix of jazz, reggae, ska

Like its predecessors, "Elated" relies on the clear sound of four-stars of the Senior Allstars. Compositional and playful, »Elated" is also deeply rooted in the reggae of the 70s. The Senior Allstars can sound amazingly authentic. You can hear what they like and who inspires them. The band goes a step further in composition, interplay and sound and creates their personal continental-European dub reggae style. The basic mood of the songs does not serve the annoying Sunshine reggae cliché, but is also far from depressive world pain music. "Elated" is an album full of groove, atmosphere and joy of playing – enthusiastic and inspiring. (Source: jpc.de)

Roddy Radiation aka Roderick James Byers was once part of the legendary specials that crossed punk with reggae in 1979. The fact that he sees himself as "Skabilly Rebel" must be seen as a wink to his successful past, because "The Roddy Radiation Anthology" is above all a retrospective of Roddy's love of a very specific genre, rockabilly, that has lasted for decades. For 18 songs, Radiation has been scrambles through his career after his career in bands such as The Tearjerkers, The Bonediggers and The Raiders. In the style of the Stray Cats, crisp rock'n'roll numbers alternate with mid-tempo snobbers ("Hook, Line & Sinker", "Judgement Day"), and Western sounds can also be.

With “Coconuts From Space” they continue to advance in their development and bring out their album, which has matured so far.

Supported by Gigi “Mr. T-Bone ”di Gaspari and Jesse Wagner as well as a great artwork in the style of the 60s (excerpt from review irieites.de)

A nightly mood is above the sixth album of the Catalan Jamaica Jazz Institution from Barcelona. Rocksteady is the carpet on which the band unrolls their songs, in which, thanks to the blue notes played by the wind and guitar, such a light-eyed jazz touch always resonates. The offbeat guitar acts to the faster ska and slower reggae rhythm of the drum and bass section, along with coolest organ and great blower and quite sweet comes the vocals of Saphie Wells, whose voice also sets charms.
