Talk The Ska

That's right, we just did one and now it's time for another NoSKAlgic episode! This time around we are taking a look at the state of Texas. Featuring music by The Grown Ups, The Fabulous Bowler Boys, Slaphappy, Burn Toast, Secret Agent 8, The Impossibles, Fixed Ideas, The Vent-o-Lators, and The Suspects

It's still really hot out, so I've been recording with my windows open. Didn't realize how clearly the crickets would come through on the mic! They're like a special little guest host I didn't even know about. Besides that we have loads of ska-punk in this episode. Far more than usual! Featuring music by King Prawn, Turkey Blaster Omega, No Way Dad, Catbite, Kill Lincoln, Swift Kixx, Free Kick, Los Sin Vida, and S.M.A

In this week's episode we have music by Fratelli Lambretta Ska Jazz, Mala Suerte Ska, Western Standard Time Ska Orchestra, The Pirateska Rebellion, Coolie Ranx, Over Limit, Bad Habit Budapest Ska, Flip and the Combined Effort, and The Pressure Boys.

We are back with a somewhat hastily thrown together Noskalgic episode. This time we're checking Pennsylvania off the list of US states to look into. I only say it's hastily thrown together because I didn't spend months agonizing over finding material. It all accidentally came together within a week and turned out pretty darn good! Featuring music by The Skablins, Public Service, Ruder Than You, The Freakin' Cads, Skaliosis, NotchoMa, The Go Go Rays, The N.C. Thirteens, and The Upstanders!

Like the title says it's hot out, here was a spider attack during the record, and that's it. Just those two things. Despite those minor calamities we are pleased as punch to bring you more new music from around the world. Featuring music by The Rough Customers, The Slackers, Rude Beard, Sally and the Monkeys, Backyard Superheroes, Eastbay, The Suitcase Bandits, 2 Stone 2 Skank, and Tin Circus.

Geees this one is late. I blame this hot, hot, humid weather mostly. That and continued technical issues, but we worked through all that! No set backs are gonna keep us from bringing you all the hot new ska sounds from around the world. There's something for every fan 's of genres falling under the sweet ska umbrella. Featuring music by Stop The Presses, Tape Girl, Skata Tones, El Colectivo Sabinas, Tree House Fire, The Easy Notes, Travellers All Stars, Dancing Moods, and Skapa!

This was a weird episode to record for a couple of reasons. Foremost, we went with the "classic" flow of an episode starting with a song and skipping our intro. That part made sense and was intentional. What didn't make sense were whole parts of the recording just not recording. So if bits of the talking seem more jumpy, that's why. Still loads of great new music here and even something we've never done before! Featuring music by Bowcat,Vieja Skina/Rock'n'Lobos, The New Rulers,Pussycat Doghouse,The Brothers Ignatius Big Band, TLA,The Marginados, Unknown Era, and Punch The Clown!

After our time looking at CT ska of the 90's and an unplanned week off, we are back in the present. There's new stuff, some old stuff, and best of all some upcoming stuff. It's really a nice set of sounds to come back to. Featuring the music of Kill Lincoln, The Meddlers,Downtown Fiasco, Mad Caddies, Girls Go Ska, The Bartenders, Ska Jazz Messengers, and Filibuster!

Last week was a huge success, so we're back with more 90's CT Ska! Okay, we would have been back with more even if it wasn't a success. There's also a single track from the 80's, which is always nifty to include in these retrospectives! Here's hoping it's as well liked as the previous episode! Featuring music by 6 Feet Under, The Incognitos, Mock Turtle Soup, Sgt. Scagnetti, 5 Knuckle Shuffle, Nigel Six, Choke Puppy, The Spicy Gribblets, and The Radiation Kings

This is my most requested topic to cover thus far. Connecticut had a pretty wild ska scene back in the 90's. An absurd amount of bands from all over the state of just about every style you could think of. It was such a joy looking into it all that this is a two parter! There's of course some well known bands popping up and, hopefully, ones you'd only really know if you were from the region. Here in part one we have music by Johnny Too Bad & the Strikeouts, Ska King Crab, J.C. Superska, The Snappers, Flip Ya For Real, GOLGO, The Fryalators, 6 Under Par, and Spring Heeled Jack!
