This is an Italian band that played lots of different musical styles with ska being represented, just not very much. They have a few really good ska tunes but most of their music is not ska.
Yeah Yeah! was a ska/rockabilly/swing/skiffle band from Australia that included Steveo from Area 7. I think they started in 1987 and they finally called it quits around 1997. I think.
I'm really no expert on this band but I think this is everything they released in their time as a band.
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!

I know Trippin Phil's All Skas used to play some of these songs. They included a version of The Cranberry on their album. I have both of the Trippin' Phil's All Skas tapes and I will post them at some point.
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.
This was a straight-forward ska band from Minnesota. This is their only album but they did record a demo tape which is included in this download. After a line-up change (I don't know if "some members quit" is exactly a line-up change) they changed their name to Hollywood Rivals and they released one album. That album is also included in this download. You might notice a few songs were re-recorded under this name.
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:
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!
Quintessential 90s third wave ska-punk from Valparaiso, Indiana.
They only released one album but there was a demo tape before the album and the quality of that demo was as good as any professional release. There are songs from the album that were on the demo tape but all of them were re-recorded.
