This week we are joined by Richard Lamas from Rundown Kreeps. Richard tells us how he got into ska and how the band came together. We discuss their musical influences and what it’s like playing in the Los Angeles ska scene. We listen to their song Held Down and discuss what makes a good ska show. Lastly, we give you ska news and our ska picks of the week.
