Megalith Records

A grassroots independent label specializing in ska, reggae and 'rock 'n' soul' music. Established in 2002 by singer/frontman of The Toasters Robert Hingley, and managed alongside artist/musician Jeremy Patton. After the closing of Moon Ska Records in 2000 and the release of The Toasters album [m392365] on Asian Man Records, the label was created out of a desire to not only focus on releasing new music based around currently active ska related bands, but also as a home to rebuild, reclaim and produce new releases in The Toasters catalog. Originally to be called "Monolith Records" (but was informed that name already existed...), the launch release of [r2201147] was a 4 CD ska compilation jointly produced with Jump Up! Records. The label has since released over 100 albums worldwide, as well as having established (then discontinued) a branch based in Valencia Spain, and co-released albums with other notable records labels such as Jump Up! Records, Stubborn Records, Stomp Records (2), Leech Records, Drastic Plastic Records, Ska In The World Records, Phoenix City, What Happened To The Reason For Screaming Records and others. The lastest releases have seen a shift in manufacturing and packing styles. Moving away from the standard plastic jewel case, the label is releasing their CD based albums in the digipak format, as well as pressing each release on vinyl and cassette.
