[edit] Biography

The Allniters were an Sydney-based music band that played ska music in the early and mid 1980s. They were best known for a ska-style cover of the Bobby Bloom hit "Montego Bay", followed by the slower and more mainstream "Love and Affection", both of which received wide airplay on radio stations around Australia and were top 40 hits. The Allniters reformed to support reggae band, UB40 in 2004.
