The Name Came From The Interstate Highway Which They Used To Get To The Drummer's Garage For Band Practice And Connected The Band Members Homes. In July Of 1995 Nick Traina Joined The Band After Meeting Adam At A Show In San Francisco's Mission District. Nick's Passion And Voice Combined With The Rest Of The Band To Make Them Different From Most Ska Bands And Gave Link 80 The "against The Rest" Attitude They Display Throughout Their Lyrics. Far More Punk Than Ska And With An Energy And A Sense Of Immediacy Lacking In Pop-Oriented Ska Bands Link 80 Was Able To Avoid The Cliches Of Ska-Punk Characterized By Their Peers. As Asian Man Records Describes Them They Are An Energetic Blend Of Ska Punk Rock And Hardcore. 17 Reasons Recorded In 1996 Link 80 Had Released Their First Full-Length Album Titled 17 Reasons In Early 1997.

The Struggle Continues With Nick Gone Link 80 Needed Someone To Fill In On Vocals. After Recruiting A Man Named Stoney To Fill In For Vocals Temporarily For Their Shows Ryan Noble From The Blast Bandits Was Chosen To Pick Up Permanently Where Nick Had Left Off. Along With Ryan Came A New Sound And Lyrics While Still Maintaining The "against The Rest" Attitude. Link 80 Began To Lead More Towards A Hardcore/ska Sound Rather Than A Punk/ska Sound. With Ryan Link 80 Recorded The Album The Struggle Continues As Well As Some B-Sides That Appeared On Various Compilations In 1999 And Toured Numerous Times With Such Bands As Capdown And MU330.
