This our first 7inch release!!! We are very happy to start this new series of releases. Our vinyl releases are future retro stylings! What this means is our vinyl releases will contain digital download cards to either give you access to downloading the entire album digitally or give you access to extra songs and content that wouldn't fit on the record! One step beyond!!!
Buford O'Sullivan has been part of our family for a long time. If you don't know about Buford, you should because he has been a driving train of trombones and vocal pipes for years in the NYC ska scene. Around 1989 he joined the NYC ska band The Scofflaws full time and toured with The Toasters. He later increased his Scofflaws duties by contributing written material and further vocal excursions. Some of the tunes he coined are considered to be the more popular ones such as 'William Shatner', 'Nude Beach', 'Back Door Open' and 'Nude Beach'.
Buford later went on to release a full length solo album on Moon Ska Records sub label known as Ska Satellite and a second full length on Steven Shafer's online only label 7 Wonders Of The World. Both of which now are digitally available through us in all the major and minor digital outlets. In the early 2000's Buford joined The Toasters full time and contributed 'Can I Get Another' to the 2003 'Enemy Of The System' release, again a crowd favorite. Since then Buford has toured and recorded with both 'Dub Is A Weapon' and 'The Easy Star Allstars'.
All the while he has been writing new material, which is what we bring to you now! This release brings us 6 new tunes with 2 bonus dubs, courtesy of Mr. Victor Rice. Buford's witting lyrics and NY centric relatable subject matter is all there backed by catchy melodies and unique rhythms, all which combine to create it's own style of ska that can only be the birth child of the one and only Buford O'Sullivan.
