Talk The Ska

The world sure does change a lot in one week. Still, we're blazing ahead with our ska-punk episode. Now more than ever we feel it's important to keep the music playing. So if there's something you like please consider supporting the group. Featuring the music of Bite Me Bambi, The Manipulators, The More Or Less Whoever, Runaway Ricochet, Grey Matter, Beat The Smart Kids, Black Sky, La Mueska, Gelugugu, and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones

Back with a new episode, two weeks in a row! There is a wealth of brand new music to look at this week from some of the worlds best bands. We're also still working through all the stuff we missed due to the hiatus. It's something of a music overload, but if there were ever a perfect time for it it's now. Featuring music by The Prizefighters, The Oldians, Don Cosmic, Mampy, The Jamons, Los Tres Puntos, Half Past Two, Highmoon, and The Launchers.

Why hello, it's been way too long! That's right we're finally back with a brand new episode. Honestly, we had grand ambitions of doing three episodes this weekend to make up for lost time. A lot has been going on in the ska world and it's International Women's Day. Unfortunately I've had a nasty cough and it had other plans. So figuring one episode is better than no episode, we have this amalgamation of what we had in store. So come along and listen to some of the finest ska inspired music from around the world! Featuring the music of The Loving Paupers, Johnny Reggae Rub Foundation, Ska.As.One, The Upstarters, Open Season, Maleducazione Alcolica, The Kubricks, Last Edition, Just Say Nay, and Dakka Skanks

It's our final episode before our end of year/decade extravaganzas! This week we aren't only taking a look at late in the year releases, oh no. There is also a song I've been wanting to share since March! So come along with us and listen to some of the finest ska around. Featuring The Hotknives, The Offenders, The Rude Dudez, The Kubricks, The Re-Adjusters, The Bandulus, Top Shotta Band featuring Screechy Dan, Newport Secret Six, and Slow Gherkin!

Season 2 rolls on with a steady mix of ska, both new and old. Still feeling out the new format as we go. Talking about ska is one thing, but shining a brighter light on some easily missed things? Not to mention calling out exciting ska news going on? Bold new era, but we are taking it all in stride! Featuring the sounds of Thumper, The Busters, Skaface, Simple Minded Symphony, Tip The Van, The Launchers, Mephiskapheles, Guantas, and Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra!

We are back with a new season of Talk The Ska! What does that mean exactly? Well, there are segments now of sorts. Ska news to speak of outside of just what's being played. Featured bands and synergetic catch phrases! So We're figuring it out as we go along. What we do know is there's loads of great ska from Something To Do, Bruce Lee Band, The Skalars, The Abruptors, Just Say Nay, The Void Union, Los Beretta, No Authority, and Alla Spina

We're back with another episode of new music from all around the world. Covering some new stuff from the past week and some from a little earlier. Loads of stuff for any ska fan to enjoy. Featuring the music of Los Barrelshots, The Big Skandal, The Seattle-ites, Space Monkey Mafia Epic XViii, Spirit of 87, Chango Munks, The Hostiles, and Death of Guitar Pop.

Well we are finally done with all our 90's nonsense. At least as far as the podcast is concerned. So we are back in the present day looking at some releases from the past month and a few upcoming ones. The ska world never slows down as of late and we're back in the mix covering the whole lot of it! Featuring music of The Hot Stompers, Mr. Tea & the Minions. Alla Spina, Red Soul Community, The Skaloggs, The More Or Less Whoever, Adhesivo, Polemic, and Soul Ska!

We have made it to the end of our 90's nonsense episodes. This one was an extremely hard one to get down to a manageable length. But ultimately I decided to just pick some of my favorites of the era from when I was a teenager, some I still like regardless, the ones that really got me into ska, and one I foolishly didn't enjoy then but love now. There's also a lot of story telling about some of these releases. So even trimming it, it's still our longest yet. Featuring the music of Chickenpox, Goldfinger, Reel Big Fish, Less Than Jake, Five Iron Frenzy, MU330, Spring Heeled Jack, SKankin' Pickle, Voodoo Glow Skulls, The Pietasters and Hepcat!

For the past few weeks we've been reviewing regional 90's ska on our Instagram page. We call it Pick It Up Review and these are some of our favorites of the bunch. It has been especially fun to look into bands I wasn't familiar with back in the day. It's even more exciting to learn about some of the people who were in these bands! So come along and hear some fine tunes from the likes of The Specs, Perfect Thyroid, Low Pressure, Franceska, Big Lick, The Offbeatniks, Short Millie, Alien Spy, Curbside Service, and Gals Panic.
