V.A. / United Colors Of Ska 4.0

Pork Pie CD 02497
Release: 28.9.2007

Fifteen years ago, the UNITED COLORS OF SKA compilation series has been created by Pork Pie. Bands from all over the world united one CD. What makes it really special is the fact, that all those bands have been devoted to a musical style, which had nothing to do with the musical culture of their country. In fact, some music originally coming from Jamaica has spread out successfully to all continents of the world and merged with the most different local influences. Reggae, ska, rocksteady or 2-tone from all over the world reconciled pretty well.

YELLOW UMBRELLA / Little Planet

cover

Rain Records/Pork Pie CD 02495
Release: 11.5.2007

The Germaicans from Dreseden never took care about being musically "pigeonholed". On their new album "Little Planet" there's hardly enough space for their tremendous variety of styles breaking into 0the well-known Yellow Umbrella orbit of Reggae-, Ska- and Rocksteeady matter.

YELLOW UMBRELLA have a great new record.

Their fifth album features sixteen tracks and presents a wider spectrum than ever before. Not only mastermind Jens Strohschnieder wrote songs, the new band members Alex Buck and Bernard Lanis showed their songwriting skills as well.

DALLAX / Core Color (+Bonus)

cover

Pork Pie CD 02496
Release: 27.4.2007

Whoever has seen DALLAX on stage before , will have hard times to wait, until the band from Tokyo will come on tour again.
These japanese kamikaze high-flyers are bringing their new secret weapon along:
their new album CORE COLOR, which has been attested by the music press already some similar effects like old Clint Eastwood movies: "Picks Off Anything"!
That may sound a bit over the top, but it's not at all. However DALLAX are mercyful enough to cease fire in between for some nice melodic songs for the listeners to recover a bit. Bosstones, Fishbone or Sublime was yesterday - here comes DALLAX !

THE VALKYRIANS / High & Mighty

cover

Pork Pie CD 02494 / LP 05494
Release: 30.3.2007

Finnish bands always have been good for some surprise.
Top notch outfit The Valkyrians however do not sound like the usual finnish dark and heavy rock, but come up with some hot and sunny trad rocksteady and early reggae spiced with some vintage 2 tone tracks. And they know their style incredibly well!

The band from Helsinki started in 2002 and, after their album “High And Mighty” having entered the finnish charts in september 2006 , sold out live show and lots of music awards in Finland, their story of success becomes international now.

SKAOS / SILVER Jubilee Edition

cover

Pork Pie CD 02481
Release: 30.10.2006

If you have ever been at a SKAOS gig recently, you wouldn't think that these energetic guys are living ska history.
Since 1981 this band feeds the ska world consistently with songs, which nobody wants to be missed at any ska party and turned into wolrdwide ska classics over the years.
However, songs like "Ska Skankdown Party", "Oh Sally","Jesse James" oder "Straight to Your Heart" are hardly to find in the stores any more.
The self-called "Invincible Seven" celebrate their Silver Jubilee party excessively with a complete retrospective over 25 years of finest SKAOS ska.

VA / Ska... Ska... Skandal No. 5 Football Edition

cover

Pork Pie CD 05651-2
Release: 26.5.2006


Kick Off!

Exactly ten years after the release of the last edition of a SKANDAL compilation, there are some good reasons to continue that CULT series. Germany invites the world for the football world cup and there's no single ska record about the subject football around!


IMPOSSIBLE! - the FIFA are cashing in their bad taste by their choice of cheap and wishywashy Love Generation songs, PORK PIE invites ska bands from the whole world to party.
A total of 18 bands from Argentina to Japan are presenting their ootball tunes, starting from stadium classics like Liquidator or You'll Never Walk Alone to the point of their own new songs, which should be taken serious more or less, the range covering styles from traditional rocksteady over classic 2Tone style up to straight forward ska-punk.

No Sports / 20 Years Jubilee Edition

No Sports Cover

Pork Pie DoCD 05650-2
Release: 25.11.2005

20 years NO SPORTS - a good reason to celebrate a party!

Not anybody would have thought back then, that this band with their sensational album King Ska would create an essential milestone of ska history.
And just in time for their 20 years jubilee, the original members of NO SPORTS set up the band again featuring the original line up under the name NU SPORTS. Another good reason to party not only for the Pork Pie label, but for all fans of the vintage NO SPORTS band.
On this occasion Pork Pie releases a jubilee edition of the two albums King Ska and Successfools coming in a noble black Digipak at the price of only one CD. This will be the ultimate collector's item.

SKAOS / Pocomania

cover

Pork Pie CD SRR 002
Release: 01.02.2005

SKAOS goes Voodoo!

Two years after the release of their brilliant live album "Breaking The Curfew", the Invicible Seven evoke the jamaican voodoo ghosts by means of their brand-new CD "Pocomania".
Another felicitous album coming up with juicy brass section, rocking guitars, caribbean percussion - threatening harmonies full of suspense which break up into party elation and sound anything else but acherontic. Don't panic ! Although the artwork looks vicious, you should always be aware of surprises if you get involved with SKAOS.
