The Aquabats were initially formed as a ska band in 1994 by vocalist The MC Bat Commander, bassist Crash McLarson and trumpeter Catboy.<ref name="Saturday Morning">{{cite web|title=The Aquabats' Saturday Morning Mission; Who Are Those Masked Men?

Despite releasing a B-sides compilation and live DVD through Fearless Records in the early 2000s, The Aquabats spent most of this period in relative inactivity, leading to radical changes in both the band's line-up and musical style. In 2004, the group independently recorded the EP ''Yo! Check Out This Ride!'', signing to Nitro Records several months later.<ref name="MishMashBats">{{cite web |url=http://www.mishmashmagazine.com/2005/music/interviews/the-aquabats-interview/ |title=The Aquabats: Interview |publisher=Mish Mash Magazine |date=July 28, 2005 |access-date=August 28, 2012 |archive-date=January 9, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140109105157/http://www.mishmashmagazine.com/2005/music/interviews/the-aquabats-interview/ |url-status=usurped }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.punknews.org/article/9610 |title=Nitro Records signs The Aquabats |publisher=Punknews.org |date=July 4, 2004}}</ref> 2005's ''Charge!!'', The Aquabats' first release as a new wave-influenced quintet, effectively revitalized the band's career, meeting with positive reviews and a return to consistent touring.

In 2019, as the result of a successful Kickstarter campaign to help produce several new albums and the continuation of The Aquabats' live-action television series ''The Aquabats! Super Show!'', the band digitally released their first live album, ''The Fury of The Aquabats! Live at The Fonda!'', as well as a compilation of songs from ''Super Show!''{{'}}s first season, ''The Aquabats! Super Show! Television Soundtrack: Volume One'', which was later given a wide physical release and debuted at 165 on the ''Billboard'' 200, The Aquabats' highest placement on the chart to date.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.billboard.com/artist/the-aquabats/chart-history/tlp/ |title=The Aquabats!

==Horchata Records== '''Horchata Records''' was the record label owned and operated by The Aquabats from 1994 to 2001.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.discogs.com/label/187138-Horchata-Records |title=Horchata Records |publisher=Discogs}}</ref>

Named after the beverage of which the Jacobs brothers shared a particular affinity, Horchata Records was originally conceived by Parker Jacobs in the early 1990s for use with his band GOGO13. Though the Horchata label appeared on GOGO13's demo tapes and show posters, it was not made official until 1994 when Christian Jacobs established the Horchata Records LLC to release The Aquabats' early demos.<ref name="PJinterview">{{cite web |url=http://anthonysansone.com/posts/parker-jacobs/ |title=An Interview with Parker Jacobs |publisher=AnthonySansone.com |date=November 12, 2014 |access-date=August 4, 2015 |archive-date=November 15, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141115035118/http://anthonysansone.com/posts/parker-jacobs/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> Following The Aquabats' signing to Goldenvoice, Horchata became used for the band's mail order merchandise until 1999, when Parker Jacobs began re-developing it into a branded record label.<ref name="PJinterview" />

According to Parker Jacobs, he had planned to expand Horchata into its own entity, releasing music from bands both real and fictionalized within The Aquabats' universe: "it wasn't a specific sound", Jacobs explained, "but a movement of fun, theatrical bands like The Aquabats and Sandfleas".<ref name="PJinterview" /> The official [http://www.tylerjacobs.com/horchatarecords/mainpage.html Horchata Records website] listed The Aquabats and all of their respective side projects among their roster, including active bands such as GOGO13, The Sandfleas, The Moon Monkeys and Digital Unicorn, as well as either planned or entirely fictional groups like Planet V, Cactus Jack and The She-Goats. Horchata's roster also included the indie pop band Majestic, surf-punk group The Immortals, new wave band NU-TRA and Utah ska band The Soulutions, though none of these bands would ultimately release material through Horchata. Many of these bands, both real and fictional, were later represented on the 2000 Horchata sampler album ''Rice Capades''.

Following their dismissal from Goldenvoice Records in 2000, The Aquabats entered a period of extended inactivity and limited finances, during which it became clear Jacobs' ambitions for Horchata had become unfeasible and the label eventually faded into non-existence in 2001.

The following is a list of releases under the Horchata Records label:
