Oh boy, where to start. Some drinks were had, some wives joined, Kate Winslet's Titanics were discussed. It's a mess. Here's over an hour of us rambling on about perhaps the most well known ska album ever recorded.
OKAY SOO UHHHHH this episode is actually MONTHS old and I just got around to editing it but I've been BUSY, ALRIGHT?

IT'S OUR TENTH EPISODE! This one is for the haters who said we could never make it to 10 (no one said that).
In honor of this momentous occasion, we're breaking down arguably the GREATEST SKA ALBUM EVER—Keasbey Nights, by Catch 22. Patrick Cogan is back in the mix, we drink too much and sing along together. Subscriiiibe!
It didn't feel right to do a normal episode this week, as we see hundreds of thousands of American's marching for racial justice and against police brutality. As lovers of a music deeply rooted in the fight against racism and rooted in black history and culture from the Caribbean, it would be a disservice to ska to stay silent.
So this week, we're breaking down 10 of our favorite anti-racist ska songs. You can find the play list below, along with a YouTube link for one song that isn't on Spotify:

OMG JEFF THE GIRL FROM FIVE IRON FRENZY IS OUR ACTUAL GUEST THIS WEEK!
Man I tell ya, everything is always falling apart, ya know? This week, we're breaking down the most cathartic and chaotic of ska albums, ASOB's final record. A record so emotional that it tore the band apart. The boys talk about Jeff Rosenstock's lyrical (and profane) genius, some Big D influence, and more.

This week, Mike and Andrew are joined by Meghan McCaskill, former member of the Tallahassee ska band The Shower Beers (and close friend of Mike and Andrew). We're breaking down The Resignation by RX Bandits, which is LONG but also GOOD, OKAY?

A bit of a different episode today boys and girls. Central Florida punk show promoter LEGENDS Nick Jade and Josh Benfield join us to talk about the Little Reggies Productions scene from the late 90s to mid-00s. These guys booked shows all over Central Florida and share some insight into what it was like.
SMASH THAT 5 STAR BUTTON.
File this week's episode under "Hidden Gems". Our former bandmate Patrick Cogan joins the pod to talk about "The Diary of Hamilton Fish" from Montreal-based ska band The Delegates. Don't feel bad if you haven't heard of these cats, but this album is the best album you've never heard of. Make sure you give it a listen.
