I'm not entirely sure where this band is from so I'll put it like this:
This is a European band who started out with the name Godzilla but, as you know, there was already a band called Godzilla. And when I say there was already a band I meant there were many many bands with that name. In my own neighborhood there was a punk band called Godzilla (RIP Jocko!) so the band put out a few songs using the name "God & Zilla" but when they put out their first release they boldly went with the name Godzilla.
I don't know what happened but between their first record and their second they changed their name. They were no longer Godzilla nor were they God & Zilla but they changed their name entirely to "Luana Point". They released that second record then they disappeared.
I don't know who they were or what happened to them but here is everything I have by them: two singles and three compilation tracks. Lots of laid back and mostly instrumental ska. For fans of Ocean 11.

Hello, thank you for sharing this! They was from Zurich, Switzerland, starting in 1990. And changed their name to "Luana Point" because of copyright claim from Japanese entartainment company "Toho Co., Ltd." who owns rights to "Godzilla" francise. As "Luana Point" they existed 5 years untill split-up in 2005.
