I am finishing up the artwork for the new Freddy Loco & The Gordo's Ska Band album. Mixed by the wonderful Mr. Victor Rice (a household name by now!). The new record is titled "Satellites" and boasts some impressive guest musicianship. The album should be available by mid to late August. We currently are distributing their first record digitally for them and have been for a while now. If you haven't picked it up, do so now! TABA :

Finnish ska legends, The Blaster Master, have just released their 4th full length record. We have brought it to the United States with 3 bonus tracks and cool alternate artwork! It is available direct from Megalith Records online shop right now and will be available soon at all our other distro outlets.
"Rude Boy Life" is a very refreshing sound of modern post 2Tone style ska. In the vein of The Specials and Madness but with the attitude and modern stylings of Three Minute Warning, The BiG and The Toasters.
We submitted a host of our bands to the "Just Plain Folks" Music Awards a while back, we received and outstanding amount of acceptance nominations! Please check their site for all the information and vote on your favorite ska band!
