SKAOS, founded in 1982 in Krumbach, Bavaria, together with their parallel PORK PIE label, are part of the big bang of the ska genre in Germany. "Catch This Beat" was released in 1989 and was the first artist studio album on the young PORK PIE label. The songs belong to the classics of German ska, although unlike colleagues like EL BOSSO they are not sung in German but in English. For the first time in around 30 years, the cult album will be released as a strictly limited PORK PIE licensed edition as a vinyl LP on the BLACK BUTCHER CLASSICS label.

This is the re-release of Jaya The Cat's official first album from 2003 with a complete new artwork. Great songs with the typical Reggae meets Punk sound of the band.

Chris Murray is a unique figure in today's music scene. The Canadian pioneered an intimate singer/songwriter approach to modern ska music. His co-writing and producing credits in various capacities appear on work by the Planet Smashers, the Slackers, the Stubborn All-Stars and Neville Staple. The Chris Murray combo's first album, Why So Rude, was released in 2008. Like his earlier solo records on Moon NYC and Asian Man, it was stripped down and raw, super authentic 60's traditional ska, honor only. "BUCKLE UP" picks up where "WHY SO RUDE" left off...with the usual top notch songwriting backed by a simple and organic drum/bass/acoustic guitar reggae and ska vibe.

Finally, a new album by the French ska legends, who have been quiet for a long time. The well-known representatives of the "Third Wave Of Ska" around the busy singer Fred have been active for 30 years and offer a wild potpourri of ska, reggae with light punk rock elements, sung in English & French. It hasn't lost any of the old magic.

After three studio albums and over a decade deep in the music business, The Interrupters deliver their 2022 album In The Wild. This 14 track opus is the real deal; It's a story of survival, a story of resilience, from a band that's brave and rejects the simple impulses to just repeat what worked before. .This is also reflected in the uplifting mood and glittering appeal of the guests involved (Tim Armstrong, Rhoda Dakar, Hepcat, The Skints).

Filled from cover to cover with true hits, each one of which could stand on its own, this album takes you on a real (musical) journey with this legendary band that so many have been following enthusiastically for decades. “We recorded most of this album during quarantine, we were wired up at our sound engineer's house and livestreaming concerts, and after we were done we learned new tunes. These songs have the energy of our time because we lived them,” says frontman Vic Ruggiero. The New York Times called the Slackers part of the "Sound of New York," and this album is a testament to that age and experience.

With twang! the Stuttgarters from No Sports are back. The old masters of German ska are back with a work created during the last lockdown. They've actually been around for a while, but now they've made new stuff. 15 strong numbers in their own style, which has to be danceable and the lyrics have to make sense or be fun. Both are balanced and in no case can the listeners remain seated.

Jon E Bravo, also known as Mr. Kingpin, has been writing, recording and performing ska music with Dallas-based 2Tone band Rude King for the past 16 years and collaborates with various artists around the world.

Two debut singles released in 2019, produced by Esteban Flores and mixed by Jayson Nugent (The Slackers). A true Jamaican feel-good album from start to finish!
