[1] The inspiration for forming a record label came to Happoldt in 1989 as a way to release music for his band the Ziggens.

Happoldt met Nowell shortly thereafter, who insisted on having Sublime backed by the nascent label.

Happoldt was selective in choosing other acts, which later included Slightly Stoopid, Juice Bros, Philieano, Toko Tasi, and Paulie Nugent.

[2] Happoldt has encouraged bands on Skunk to move to larger labels as they increase their audience, as he prefers to focus on music creation instead of marketing.
