Out in the suburbs of Los Angeles and its surrounding cities there is a musical cloud surrounding the area, ready to drop a storm of 60’s Jamaican influenced Ska and Rocksteady. No, this is not the chanka chanka you hear in what people may call Ska, this is the original sound of Ska! 60’s Jamaican styleee!

Joe Quinonez – Vox, Guitar
