This week we talk to Dallas’ own Set The Tone! Nick and Dustin join Matt and Anthony to chat about our favorite closing songs on ska album, the Dallas ska scene, the push and pull of writing music with trained and untrained musicians. We also take a listen to Set The Tone’s song “Hope For Tomorrow” and discuss what the song means to the band. And of course it wouldn’t be On The Upbeat if we didn’t talk about the latest ska releases and give our ska picks for the week.
