Swingtones - It's too Late to Stop Them (1996)
I often say that I can't believe a band wasn't more popular than it was and that is absolutely true in this case. The vocals are decent. The lyrics are clever. The musicianship is very professional. The songwriting is on a whole 'nother level. I have been listening to these three recordings over and over again this past week and I hear something new on each listen that I didn't catch before.
These guys were young when these songs were composed. I have been playing music and composing songs for 35 years and I'm not quite yet at the level that they were at back then.

*The tracklist on Discogs is wrong. There are only 9 songs on this CD and there is no bonus track. The first track is a short sound clip, not a song. The last song on the CD is Something Wrong -but- when the CD is ripped on a computer it mislabels all of the tracks as shown on Discogs.
In 1998 Hollywood Rivals toured the West Coast and they made a video of highlights from that tour:
Fear Of Flying - Tired 7" (1981)
B - This Thing
@ - Shame
This is not my own rip. Either it was sent to me or I got it off a blog many years ago. I'm pretty sure I know who to thank for this but there is a possibility I might name the wrong person so I'll just say thank you to the person who originally ripped this record and was gracious enough to share it!

Fool Moon - Turn to Me 7" (1981)
Rare California ska/reggae with a horrible fake Jamaican accent.
The band is called Fool Moon but the band's spearhead and vocalist put his name and face all over the record. If you don't know who Brad Dupont is then you're just ignorant.
I'm ignorant too. I don't know who the fuck he is. But his self-promotion game in 1981 was as good as it gets.

B - King of the Mountain

Mentone Tones - Are We There Yet? (1998)
...but...
This is one of those "Christian" ska releases that have very little to do with Christianity aside from Jesus idolatry. This release has more Jesus per second than most other Christian ska albums. Jesus, Jesus, I-Love-Jesus. Not Biblical Jesus, but 90s pop culture Jesus. But it is quite rare. And it's a great 3rd wave ska album if you play it in the background and don't focus too much on the lyrics.
1 My Heart Beats to Serve You
2 Everyday Praise Song

4 Are We There Yet?
5 Unchanging

Midnight Sun - Midnight Sun (1994)
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.
1 Morning Light
2 Thanks & Praises
3 Trinity
4 Ooo La La

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
