Ska Parade, also known as SP Radio One, is a southern California radio show whose goal is to promote up-and-coming ska artists, as well as other types of new bands.
 The show was created by Tazy Phyllipz and Albino Brown.
 The show was a part of the Orange County third-wave ska movement of the mid-1990s.
 In 1998, the Ska Parade was raided by the heavy metal band Gwar, who fought The Aquabats.
 Ska Parade's first compilation album, "Step On It: The Best of The Ska Parade Radio Show", helped the career of Sublime and helped launch third wave ska onto the airwaves of many commercial radio stations (e.g. KROQ-FM, KCXX, 91X).
 Ska Parade's second compilation, "Runnin' Naked Thru the Cornfield", featured exclusive tracks by Reel Big Fish, The Specials, Save Ferris and The Aquabats.
 **Ska Parade (based in OC, CA) currently airs on www.DirtyRadio.FM (commercial alternative) every Sunday from 8p-10p Pacific.
Starpool is an American "ska" band consisting of former members of Save Ferris and former No Doubt member Alan Meade.
 The band's name is taken from a nickname given to trombonist Tbone Willy's house that had a swimming pool shaped like a star, where the band members used to practice and throw parties as Save Ferris.
 It was also used by the band Save Ferris for their own indie label, Starpool Records, which released the first Save Ferris EP, "Introducing Save Ferris".
Save Ferris is a ska punk band formed circa 1995 in Orange County, California.
 Their name is a reference to the 1986 film "Ferris Bueller's Day Off".
Checkered Past is an EP by ska punk band Save Ferris that was released on February 10, 2017 on Withyn Records.
 The EP marks the band's first release in 18 years since 1999's "Modified" and their first since lead singer and founding member Monique Powell reformed the band with a brand new lineup after years of legal battles with the former members of the band.
 The EP was produced by Oingo Boingo bassist John Avila and features a guest appearance by Neville Staple of The Specials on the EP's first single, "New Sound".
Introducing Save Ferris is the debut EP by Save Ferris.
 With the exception of "For You" and "You and Me" all tracks were re-recorded for the band's first full-length album, "It Means Everything".
Grinderman was an Australian-British rock band that formed in London, United Kingdom, in 2006.
 Since its inception, the band included Nick Cave (vocals, guitar, organ, piano), Warren Ellis (tenor guitar, electric mandolin, violin, viola, guitar, backing vocals), Martyn P. Casey (bass, guitar, backing vocals) and Jim Sclavunos (drums, percussion, backing vocals).
The Nuckle Brothers were a third wave ska band from Huntington Beach that was part of the early 1990s Orange County, California music scene, inspiring such bands as Reel Big Fish, Save Ferris and The Aquabats.
 Playing their first show in March 1992 at the Ocean View High School Battle of the Bands, The Nuckle Brothers quickly built up a local following.
 They were best known for their high energy, sloppy and unpredictable stage shows.
 Their sound was a combination of high-speed ska with full horn sections and punk rock energy.
 The original band went through about 20 members, playing shows with such ska heavyweights as Bad Manners, The Busters, No Doubt, Dance Hall Crashers, Sublime, Skelatones, Skankin' Pickle, Reel Big Fish, Suburban Rhythm and many more before breaking up in 1995.
 Since then they have done a string of reunion shows throughout the country.
 The Nuckle Brothers released a few cassette tapes on their own that got distributed well around the Orange County area primarily around Huntington Beach and Costa Mesa.
 Some local record shops that helped promote the band with their tape distribution were: Bionic Records, Vinyl Solution and Noise, Noise, Noise.
 The band released their 1st compact disc on Surreal Records during the early to mid-1990s titled "Kickin Ass, Gettin Loco, Drinkin Lot's of Nuckle Cocoa".
 Surreal Records was run by friend and Bionic Records employee Jason Shad.
 The label only had one release which was the debut CD which was later reissued by another label in the early 2000s that was run and operated by another friend James Scoggins.
"Heathen Child" is the fourth single by alternative rock group Grinderman and first from their second studio album, "Grinderman 2".
 Released on September 6, 2010, the song is the first release from Grinderman in three years and is also the band's first limited edition double a-side single.
It Means Everything is the first full-length album by Save Ferris.
 It was released on September 9, 1997.
