New Brunswick NJ... The Early 90's A Bastion For Underground Music Lives In This Unsuspecting Town Be It Hard-Core Punk Funk Alternative Or Reggae... There Is A Definite Absence Of One Particular Type Of Music In The "Hub City" And In NJ In General - That Music Is Ska. Late 1992... A Ragtag Group Of Mods And Ska Enthusiasts Gathered In The Basement Of The Infamous "Gingerbread House" On Welton Street To Have Some Beers To Jam And To Add Life To The Dormant Jersey Ska Scene. This Led To The Birth Of Agent 86 Who Played Their First Show At The Brighton Bar In Long Branch NJ. Several Years Line-Up And Name Changes Later Inspecter 7 Was Born.
