Hepcat - Out Of Nowhere, Scientific, Right On Time & Push 'N Shove

Hepcat are an American ska, rocksteady and reggae band from Los Angeles, California. The band formed in 1989.
By the early 2000s, the ska scene became oversaturated and commercially less interesting, so Hepcat were dropped by their label. Hepcat went on a hiatus, then reunited in 2003 and continued touring.
Their soulful harmonies and mellow rhythms were unlike those of contemporaries and more akin to musicians from the heyday of 1960s Jamaican ska with elements of soul, jazz and R&B.
The term "Hepcat" originates from an early slang term (1930–1935) pertaining to an admirer or devotee of jazz, especially swing or one that was "hep" or a hipster.
