Formed in 1981, The Skolars started life as a ska band but soon evolved into a more broadly-based guitar-pop outfit. They played and recorded throughout the 1980's and released a string of singles, including the 1986 mini-album 'Next to the Oyster' (also released on Sydney’s independent Waterfront label) – their third release in one year. 'Next To The Oyster' combined the gentle melodic pop The Skolars had refined over the years, with a confidence and resonance they had not achieved on previous efforts. In 1990 Red Meat Records released the compilation album 'A-Z' with two previously unreleased songs from the 'Precious Love' sessions.
