In the mid 90s, Oregon had a couple record labels that were dedicated to ska. Simmerdown Productions was started by DJ Simmerdown in Portland. This label was started around 1995 or 1996. I believe that Simmerdown Productions is still active although no CDs hav been released in a few years. Tuf Guy Productions was started by Pauly Atomic from Ten Dollar Mic. Pauly's label started in 1998 and pretty much ended the same year. Tuf Guy Productions was based in Salem. If you have a label that you want in this section please let me know. The "Other Labels" section is for music released by Oregon bands in which the label is not in Oregon or the band released it on their own.

Most of the following CDs are probably out of print. Please contact the label or band before buying any of these. This is supposed to be a section to let you know what music is available by local bands; it is not meant to be a catalog. Prices may change or the albums could be out of print so please contact the label before ordering anything!
