There was also a lot of skapunk made in Norway and Sweden in the early 80s, would that count?

Alania were almost like an early incarnation of Röyksopp as it featured both future Röyksopp members:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChIblGn6t7w&feature=related
Also, there was Papa Dee of course:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnMU4zVXfgw
Dr. Alban I guess may have been more of a novelty case, but oh!, did he sell!:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny43zFochi8

"Materialtretthet" by The Aller Værste - an early 80s ska punk band - is frequently voted among the best Norwegian albums ever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2O4Hu_ps7I
A more commercial, pop oriented and catchy take on the ska thing from The Monroes, who hit #1 in the Norwgian singles lists with the very Madness-influenced "Sunday People" in 1983:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3OUUl9ttTM

As much as I like Seeed, I kinda wish Peter Fox had followed the line and made more solo records, Stadtaffe is so great and the live show looks like a ton of fun.
