Ruby Joe edit
|
From: Ventura, California |
Genre(s): Swing revival |
Selected discography:
1999: Hot Rod Deluxe
|
|
Ruby Joe released two albums between 1998 and 1999. Their first release, Sinking the Eight Ball, had a Psychobilly[5] sound "like a rockabilly version of Mike Knott"[6] matched with controvosial lyrics. The band's approach to topics such as New Age spiritualism, the holocaust, and drug addiction[7][8] caused the album to be pulled from some Christian book stores.[9] Their sophmore effort played squarely as swing revival due to the appearance of the horn section of Royal Crown Revue. The lyrics also shift in attitude from their first album; on Hot Rod Deluxe it became "easier to see the biblical point" that is trying to be made.[10] | ||
The W's edit
|
From: Corvallis, Oregon |
Discography:
1998: Fourth from the Last
1999: Trouble With X

The Oregon based W's were the most widely known swing/ska band on the Christian scene.[11] They released two albums on Five Minute Walk between 1996 and 2000. Their hit single "The Devil Is Bad" propelled them into the Christian Music spotlight, and they opened for dc talk in 1999.[11] The group won two Dove Awards, both in 1999, for "The Devil Is Bad" and their first album Fourth from the Last.[12] |
