Skacore Records started sometime in early 2005 when Matt Turner and Nick Zipeto said to each other, "Hey, why don't we put on a sweet ska show where kids can dance all day long?" We put on a show called "SKAFEST 2005!" - and it's a huge success. From this point on, we'll keep putting on shows in the bay area and keep the ska scene alive. It's not dead, nor will it ever be - as long as you keep supporting your local ska scene!

After our one year anniversary of putting on shows, Skafest 2006!, Nick Zipeto has moved up to Denver, Colorado. He is greatly missed! Matt Turner takes full control of Skacore Records and continues to book ska shows for the Tampa Bay community.

Nearing the end of 2007, we have released our first CD! Sunshine State Ska: Florida Ska Compilation Volume One is available to the public! Proving that Florida has one of the greatest and most vibrant ska scenes today, this CD boasts 19 tracks from ska bands from all different parts of Florida.
