This Week we are joined by Jeremy from Courtesy of Tim and Shoe from Meskales. They tell us how they each got into ska and how their bands got started. They also talk about how their split EP came together. We discuss the question, how long can a ska band go, not releasing ska songs, before we stop calling them a ska band? And of course, we give you ska news and our ska picks.
