The Upstarts came together in the fall of 2003 from a combination of different Ska bands from the Utah area: Earthbound, the Late Shakers, My Cousin Gina, the Squares and others. Commited to playing original and authentic music, we combine ska, rocksteady, reggae, and second and third wave ska with an element of soul to create our sound. Although ska music is grossly misunderstood in the pop-culture world and vastly under explored in the Indie scene, we will continue to make it and present our best representation of it.
I also just got back from Jamaica with - a whole heap of incredible new ska, rocksteady and early reggae 45s on labels like Beverley's, Top Deck, Tuneico, Treasure Isle and more! - a selection of Jamaican vinyl LPs we've never had in the store before! We've also got a new batch of Roots Reggae titles (not yet available on the regular site) in the CD Sale, and a huge selection of clearance 45s. You can only find out about the Secret Sales by signing up for the Stubborn Records e-mail list at http://www.versioncity.com/lists
