In recent years, 8°6 CREW has shared the stage with The Selecters, the Skatalites, The Aggrolites, The Upsessions, Lion's Law, Derrick Morgan, Vibronics, Angelic Upstarts, The Toy Dolls, Los Tres Puntos, Bad Manners, Inner Terrestrials, Les Ramoneurs de Menhirs, Les Rats... Their influences include ska from the Two-Tone period of the '80s, Third Wave and for reggae, the '70s and '80s. As for the band's discography, the 3 albums and 2 eps are distributed in France (Upvr, Mass prod) and Germany (Grover), then throughout Europe by alternative distribution networks. Each time, they were enthusiastically received by the ska and reggae public, and by critics on fanzines, websites and radio stations specializing in these counter-cultures.
