SkaBeat is Back!

SkaBeat got its start in July of 1994. I started sending out a few reviews via Email to addresses I snagged off message boards for the area I managed for AOL, (RIP, MMC). I did two print zines, and then continued doing the SkaBeat Tour Date Email for another year or so.

I haven't done much with SkaBeat for a few years, but I still get Email, and I've always wanted to do more with a web site. That's what we've got going here. Links, info, bios and CDs for sale. Enjoy!
