The Norman Three Sixty - The Norman Three-Sixty (1996)

The Norman Three-Sixty (also called The Norman 360) was a ska band from Lawrence, Kansas. As you can tell from their logo the band was named after an oscillating fan. Their sound is more legitimate ska than it is ska-punk.

I don't know if they ever released, or even recorded, anything besides this cassette. The song "Sonic" from this recording was on Skarmageddon 3 but I haven't found anything else by them except for a live show that was recorded live in-studio at the University of Kansas on their radio station KJHK in October 1998. I included this whole recording in the download. Much thanks to theNuthouse Soundcloud channel for preserving and sharing this gem!

7 Seconds of Love - Danger is Dangerous (2008)

This was a British ska band that composed some really mature intelligent ska tunes and mixed those songs equally with some silly stuff.

From what Google is showing I think this is their only release. They did have one song that was on Skannibal Party 9 in 2009 called "Miss U". I have included that track in this download.
