This week we are joined by members of Simple Minded Symphony. Kevin, Jason and Kaine tell us about the early days of the band, the bands writing process, their latest single and the Seattle ska scene. We also have a group discussion about the crossover between nerd culture and ska fans. Lastly, we give you our ska picks of the week.
