JUMP UP RECORDS began in 1993 with very humble intentions. Come to think about it, we're still pretty humble. Back then, we pretty much released Midwestern Ska exclusively. You remember the American Skathic compilation series, right? Too young, you say? Well - our compilatons introduced the world to lots of great bands like Mustard Plug, The Suicide Machines, Hot Stove Jimmy, The Parka Kings, Slapstick, The Eclectics, and many many more. Those darn comps were everywhere. It was really fun then; we released Midwest bands because we believed in them. We also believed in the strong Midwest scene built around my radio show here in Chicago (on WNUR-FM from 1988-1996). Then the mid-90's hit, and suddenly everybody started a ska band, and it seems like everybody started a ska "label" too. The music REALLY suffered; it was all just bandwagon-jumping bands, who all sounded like Reel Big Fish or some other ska-punk band. It got really bad, and the true ska music fans turned away due to the over-commercialization of the scene. It wasn't a scene anymore - just lots of Warped Tour wannabes putting out bad records. Great labels like MOON SKA crumbled. JUMP UP!, however, dug it's heels in for the longhaul, and from the year 2000-2003 we were the only American ska label that continued to release new traditional ska music. We launched the STILL STANDING 4xCD BOX set and the ska world seemed to pick up again!
We're now at 80+ releases - and we continue because we LOVE this music!
We're on the radio every week on WLUW-FM. We still organize concerts, and DJ every month at Delilah's, and now at premier Jamaican Restaurant The JA' GRILL. Listen to THE REAL SKA on JUMP UP! Records. We run the only internet mail order that carries NEW IMPORTED ska at CHEAP PRICES. Don't buy ska music from some internet punk site - they only sell the watered down punky junk. Stick with JUMP UP! Records, we won't steer you wrong! We're celebrating our 15th anniversary in 2008, and we'll be here for years to come!
Chuck Wren, Owner, Order Packer, all around good guy

I know it's not really your scene, but I was wondering if there was going to be any Jump Up personnel at Reggie's Rock Club on December 1st, at the Big D and the Kids Table / Sonic Boom Six show. I'm driving out from Detroit, because SB6 are absolutely phenomenal live and they still have yet to come to Michigan on any of their American trips. But the real reason I ask is because I'm pretty sure you've got some discs I want to purchase haha.
Thanks so very much for your gracious add and a very good morning to you in beautiful Chi-Town ! You have wonderful music on your page and you have great music influences as well. Have a wonderful weekend, Wishing you and yours a Very Happy, Healthy, and Safe Thanksgiving, many well wishes, blessings, and inspiration to you, and much continued success to you. All best!
