The Aquabats

The Aquabats are a musical ensemble from Huntington Beach, California formed in 1994 known for their humorous lyrics and outrageous live shows, during which the band is often attacked by supervillains onstage. Starting as a parody of the booming third-wave ska scene in Southern California (their first show, reportedly, was played with fourteen members, at least half of which were wielding horns), The Aquabats played third-wave ska with a surfy, b-movie-esque twist that set them apart from the sped-up two-tone/pop-punk mash-ups most bands of the time were playing.

The JB Conspiracy

Formerly known as Duff Muffin, The JB Conspiracy formed late in 1999 in Guildford, Surrey. The majority of members attended school at St. Peter's C.C. School, playing their first gig to 20 students and teachers for charity and later in the year performing as the Graduation act with now unheard songs such as Tropical Fish and Mr. Mischief. They picked up some instruments, learnt to play them, and fused influences from some of their favourite bands (Less Than Jake, Specials, Catch 22, RX Bandits) with their own style and after a few line up changes became the band they are today.
