Talk The Ska

It seems that things just never get any easier this year. Thankfully there will always be music there to help us through. Whether it's the simple act of taking our minds off things or voicing our very frustrations. It is a marvelous thing! Some come along and listen to sounds of Howay, Ska Beat City, Papa Dee, Parahyba Ska Jazz Foundation, New York Ska Jazz Ensemble, The Skata Tones, Thirsty Guys, Apathy Cycle, and The Brass Monkeys.

These songs just seem to keep getting longer and longer these days. Not that I'm complaining about that. I just worry that people won't stick around to the whole episode. So this week we're cutting back on the chit-chat and keeping that music rolling. Featuring music by Half Past Two, Cinicos Sinceros, Lauren Naiper & Vic Ruggerio, The Skamotts, The Players Band, Hockey Hook, Eastern Function, Beta 7, and The Sky Rangers!

It was a busy week for us over here and this episode almost didn't make it. Even now I'm fighting off sleep just to get it posted! Thankfully we were able to pull through and get loads of new music for you all to enjoy. Featuring the music of Victor Rice, SkammingSunday, The Skallions, Buster Shuffle, Call Me Malcom, Mad Apple Circus, The Spitfires, Catbite, and Skam Imparied.

With everything going on in the world, music is the one thing that feels normal. It seems all the more exciting now when a band releases a new, long over due song. It's even better when a long dormant band comes out of hibernation. This week we have both occurrences and then some. Featuring the music of The JB Conspiracy, 0mnigone, Liska!, Faintest Idea, Los Kurados, The Juks, Wersja de Lux, Rocksteady 7 meets Crazy Baldhead, and The Ted Dancin' Machine

-We are in complete shock that it is already May. Maybe it's due to the self isolating, but it feels like March never ended. Despite how crazy things may seem we're pretty thankful for all the new music that continues to roll out. Not to mention the new ways in which bands are finding to interact with their fan base. For now though come along and check out some new music by the likes of Mango Wood, The Statement, Tef London, Younger Than Neil, The Chinkees, Cosmic Shuffling, The Skatnaps, Jamaican Jazz Orchestra, and Tropican's!

The longer we're isolating ourselves, the less time seems tot exist. Has it been a week already? How does all this new ska music keep coming out? We aren't really sure, but we aren't complaining either! Oh, but there is also quite a bit of rambling in this episode. Quite a bit more than usual, even for me. Nevertheless, we have a collection of new ska from all around the globe featuring the likes of Jim Murple Memorial, Chinatown Ska, The Freecoasters, Skapocalypse Meow, The Bar Stool Preachers, Sklero Zero, The Ska Junctions, Beat the Smart Kids, and Checkmate!

One thing we're not really minding about this lock down is all the new ska! Every time we start to feel down something new pops up and lifts our spirits. So this week we are back in the modern day looking at just a fraction of our favorite recent releases and some upcoming ones. Stay safe, stay ska. Featuring the music of The Makeways, Millington, T-Killas, The Uppertones, Crazy Baldhead, Social Steady Club, Alpheus, The Georgetown Orbits, and Something To Do.

Here we are doing a totally Noskalgic episode! Yes it's a look back at the Utah ska scene before the turn of the millennium. Why Utah of all places? Despite a huge number of quality bands, it remained woefully unnoticed back in the 90's. Only a handful of groups made any kind of impact nationally and it's a crying shame. So now is the time to share it with the world at large. Featuring songs by 004, Insatiable, The Soulutions, My Man Friday, Id and the Superegos, Sturgeon General, Skeptictank, Stretch Armstrong, Model Citizen, The Shriners, and GOGO13

Back with a new episode of some more fantastic ska music from all around the world. Most of it is new, though we dip our toes into the past a bit more than usual. All told, we're just happy to be doing this for you all for another week. So forget your troubles as best you can and listen along to music by The Red Stripes, Terra Ferma Ska Band, Might of Henry, The Kyber Rifles, The Suicide Machines, Esaope, TNB, Poindexter, and Bim Skala Bim

Back with another episode of ska and related sounds to help get us through these times. Speaking of time, it was really easy to lose track of it. Self isolation just has all the days blending together. Luckily we still have some new ska to look at and the means to do so. So come along and listen to new music by Kalles Kaviar, Proyecto Secreto, Those Fine Strangers, The Skatastrophics, The Dendrites, No Villains Left, Barbicide, The Sklutzz, and Spring Heeled Jack U.S.A!
