Goats Milk Soap (1982)
This is a rare compilation of bands that were active in New Zealand at the dawn of the eighties - a percentage of which were ska bands or mod/indie/punk bands that were influenced by the ska sound.
(Again, though, Screaming Mee Mees' offering here is not ska influenced)

Newmatics / Screaming Mee Mees split 7" (1981)
![](http://web.archive.org./web/20170819201055im_/http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_D2gocaxWXUg/Sxqot5LnT4I/AAAAAAAAAN0/4OzPGM0jNIE/s400/Screaming+Mee+Mees.bmp)
Double a-side from two New Zealand bands. Newmatics were a punk/ska/soul/funk band that existed for a short time in the early eighties. Their offering here is in the punk/reggae style.
Screaming Mee Mees were a post-punk power pop band that dabbled in the 2 Tone sound on occasion. However their song on this record is not ska at all.

The Newmatics - demo tape
![](http://web.archive.org./web/20170819201055im_/http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_D2gocaxWXUg/SqLT6aX5MhI/AAAAAAAAADk/k5F_Q6htZWk/s400/NoCover.jpg)
There was a band in the late seventies / early eighties called The Newmatics in Auckland New Zealand and there was a band from Leicester UK from that same era also called the Newmatics that had members that were later part of Ska-Boom.
Then, in the late eighties / early nineties there was a band in (or near) London called The Newmatics. This is their demo tape from 1991. They sound quite like the Riffs. They fit in perfectly with all the Unicorn and Skank bands. I wonder how they were overlooked.
