Spring Heeled Jack U.S.A. was a third wave ska band based out of New Haven, Connecticut. The band was formed by guitarist/vocalist Ron Ragona and drummer Dave Karcich in 1991. After a short breakup, Ragona and Karcich reformed the band with a new lineup. This lineup would record two albums before announcing a hiatus in 2000. While the band members moved on to new bands, their intention was to play the occasional reunion show. This idea was would never come to fruition due to Karcich's sudden death in 2002 after suffering a brain aneurysm.

The Plan was created in late 2004, but due to members leaving, new ones joining, they didn't really play any gigs.
It all began when (now ex-member) Dave and Keech (Vocalist, Guitar, and Trumpet) had just finished another band, and they decided to start a new band. Keech to Wayne (Bassist) online for a while before meeting him. Wayne could play guitar and was moving down to Canterbury in Kent, which is near Faversham (where the band is based). So they ended up getting him in.

Special Brew are a ska band from Perth, Western Australia. Current members are: Magnus
There are two bands with this name: 1. Formed late 2008 in Manchester, UK, Citizens are pioneers of the new manchester not manchester sound. "Razor sharp post punk is the order of the day here with a dramatically distinctive guitar sound that prods and pushes songs into unexpected areas. Vocals boom and the bass is bombastic enough to turn each song into a danceable literate (see title 'we've read the books') diatribe. Original, dark and somewhat disturbing. And brilliant." - wearepowwow.blogspot.com
