Syracuse Ska Forum

First off, I apologize for these occasional posts that are just informational based.
I know the goal of forums is to create discussion.
I hope that these messages I post find useful to at least some of you, and possibly create some type of discourse on this board.

So with that said.
Community Records has a few new things going on.

1) MURPHY'S KIDS - DEPARTURES
2) COMPILATION VOL. 2

1. MURPHY'S KIDS - DEPARTURES
We are just about to release our 4th release for Murphy's Kids from Richmond, VA.
There was a small manufacturing defect that is currently being fixed and should be done in the next two weeks.
Their latest album is very heavy on the reggae and progressive rock, & it totally rules.
