This week we are joined by Tara and Max from Half Past Two. They tell us about their weekend of shows with We Are The Union and Eichlers. We discuss what touring is like with Half Past Two and we discuss favorite band shirts. We also chatted about what three ska albums we would play for someone who said they weren’t into ska music. Gary tells us about the band Skabba The Hut. Lastly, we give you ska news and our ska picks of the week.
