The featured musicians were recruited by Stan from bands he performed with while residing in Santa Barbara, California, including the Dread Rock/Ska band Crucial DBC and Reggae group JahBone. Sadly, the cost of living forced Stan to escape to his hometown in Ohio, where he intends to kindle the ska flame anew.
