Midnight Sun - Midnight Sun (1994)

 Midnight Sun is a reggae/ska/calypso band that formed in the late 80s near San Francisco California. They are still playing live to this day (check their Facebook page for their latest shows) but they are now using the name Midnight Sun Massive.

They released an EP in 1994 called "Touch" that you can hear on their ReverbNation page along with lots of other songs including my favorite "Life as We Know It".

"Life as we Know It" made it on their 2008 album "Sunrise" that's available on Amazon.  All of their previous releases were under the name Midnight Sun but they used the name Midnight Sun Massive for their 2015 album "Who's Feeling Irie?" that you can listen to on Youtube. 

 

You can also hear them play live on their own YouTube channel. 

This tape here is a collection of songs recorded between 1989 and 1996.

Apollo 7 - Apollo 7 demo (1992)

 Rare British ska. This is my own rip and scans from my own tape. The quality isn't great but it's the best I can do. Lots of hiss and just bad sound quality altogether. The tape wasn't made very well. 

1 Apollo

2 Espionage

3 Mr. Policeman

4 Concrete Jungle

The Trespassers - The Adventures of Los Bandeleros (1999)

 These are the guys who did that great song "Gonna Get It, Nazi Punks" that was on Skarmageddon 3 and a few other compilations in the mid 90s. That version was from their demo tape which I do not have and I have never heard. The song is on this album but it's a re-recording. I prefer the original.

1 Riot at the Dancehall

3 Lonely Boy
