Formed in Halidax in 1982, the 7-piece Hopping Penguins had been playing ska, reggae and rock tunes on the Toronto club scene for a decade before finally taking the dive to capture their frenetic energy on tape. Cover versions of Billy Paul's "Me And Mrs. Jones" and Hendrix' "Hey Joe" highlighted their 1992 debut 'Trombone Chromosone'.

The album failed to spark any interest outside the dedicated 150-200 fans attending each live show they performed.
