Mark Foggo's Skasters - Ska Pig Returns! LP
SKU: JUMP144
Description:
US import!
English-born Mark Foggo began his music career in Amsterdam in
1979, he had discovered ska music through the popularity of 2-Tone
bands such as The Specials and The Beat, inspiring him to start his
own punk/ska band, The Secret Meeting. After independently
releasing a single entitled “New Shoes”, the band was promptly
signed to Polydor Records in 1980 for the full length “Speeding My
Life Away.” Foggo’s passion for ska eventually grew larger until he
omitted the punk / new wave songs entirely, focusing exclusively on
ska for his first solo album, 1983’s “A State of Mind”.
He formed his most notable band, Mark Foggo’s Skasters, in 1987,
and their 1989 debut, “Ska Pig”, was a huge international success,
often cited as a classic of the ska genre. Foggo founded his own
label Skanky’ Lil in 1990 to release his own music, which he
describes as “modern, bizarre, non-influenced, up tempo ska”, and
is characterized by his observational and darkly comic lyricism, as
well as his manic and boisterous stage personality. In 2010,
Foggo’s band signed to V2 Records to release the album “Mad”, but
after nearly a decade Mark Foggo is back with “SKA PIG RETURNS!” on
Jump Up Records. This new album is truly a return to form, ten
tracks of uptempo 2-Tone influenced bouncy ska with clever and
whimsical lyrics that made you think, laugh…but mostly
SKANK!
