| Â | Moon Ska Records to Shut Down |
 | | Moon Ska was a virtual ska music factory as ska hit the hype of '96-'97, singing up several new bands and holding ska showcases throughout the country. | | | Several bands had challenged the label's royalty statements (only one band actually filed a legal claim, though several bands complained about money), and in 1999, Moon Ska made public embezzlement charges against its Label and Store Manager, Noah Wildman, who over the years had operated as one of ska music's most prolific and outspoken cheerleaders. | | | Before the expansion of the Web and online shopping, the Moon Ska mail-order catalog was the main source for new ska music for many fans. |

| Â | Lloyd Brevett and the Skatalites |
| | Ska had since given way to slower rhythms and despite the name of the band and label, this album heavily reflects the roots-reggae movement. | | | And if you're itching for more of the original sixties ska sound, well, not only does it fail to completely disappear on the African Roots album, but you'll find a few bonus tracks from that era attached to this reissue. | | | When you pick up a CD with the Skatalites name on it you usually expect to hear ska, but the Rastafarian color scheme in the CD booklet should be the first clue where Lloyd Brevett (a Skatalite himself) was heading with this album. |

| | They have released many albums, most of them on the now-defunct Moon Ska record label, at one time the world's largest Ska -only record label, founded and owned by Hingley. | | | Many consider them the first true band of the third-wave era, as they were from the United-States (as opposed to the British Two Tone movement) and had a sound much more influenced by the still-young punk music. | | | Since the death of Moon Ska in the early 2000s, Hingley has founded a new label, Monolith Records. |

| | Produced by Christophe and Zen the album takes continues the unusual story Zen story into another wierd and wonderful chapter. | | | Their strange name and style, is mixed with gritty northern humour and a unique blend of Trad Ska, Two Tone and Punk with hints of the Fall and Devo. | | | No other band could have called their debut album "I am the Champion Concrete mixer" with tracks like "Brown Cows Of Elocution" and "100 Years Of Seaside Entertainment". |

| Â | In Music We Trust - INTERVIEW: Bucket |
| | Another thing that I found out with Moon Ska that I hope not to recreate with Megalith is that, there is no such thing as a friend in the music business. | | | Richard Vardaro (for In Music We Trust) : When Moon Ska Records went out of business, the ska genre didn't disappear, but as a fan, I thought there was something lacking. | | | Also, since Moon Ska was such a powerful force in the genre, will Megalith Records be a powerful force in the ska genre? |

| Â | live reviews - Moon ska tour |
| | The idea of 5 bands also sounded like to many change overs and not enough live ska, thankfully this proved not to be the case as the time between bands was only 10 or 15 minutes. | | | I wasn't expecting much of this tour as Ex-cathedra were the only band I'd really heard, although Shootin Goon sounded good at Morecambe. |

| | They released two lively independent label albums, Pezcore and Losers, Kings, And Things We Don't Understand, which continued ska's tradition of irreverence and spontaneity. | | | The subsequently signed a major label deal with Capitol Records, but one of their most endearing releases to date is the independent Greased, a mini-album featuring eight cover versions of songs from the Grease soundtrack. | | | Roger replaced Shaun and a brass section comprising Jessica (saxophone), Aaron (saxophone) and Buddy (trombone) was brought in to bolster the band's sound. |
