They released at least one album around 1984 on the Attic label. I think they also had a mini album of 4 songs. 'Ska Music' and 'Go Crazy' are 2 of their biggest hits and did receive some airplay . They had a cult like following in Calgary, Canada. - Stulaird, Dec 11 12:29pm http://about.delphi.com/ab-ska/start/?msg=174.1 ----------------------------- MORE MUSIC AT ABOUT.COM CHRISTMAS MP3S Guitar Guide Dan Cross delivers a new MP3 every day of a holiday classic.
