Ska Punk International

Hello friends!! On today's episode of the Ska Punk International podcast, I talk to Emily and Joe from Take Today. Last year, Take Today released the excellent Skadiving EP that also features a cover of Link 80's classic 'Up to the Top.' Skadiving is a re-imagining of their previously released song 'Skydiving.'Both songs on the EP feature a huge roster of guest stars from bands like Flying Raccoon Suit, Matamoska, Catbite and Omnigone. I talked with Joe and Emily about how they balanced all of that without losing the soul of what made the original song so great.We also talk about some of Take Today's history, Joe and Emily's other projects and spent a lot of time answering extremely unhinged questions from the SPI Patreon.Listen everywhere you find podcasts!Check out more music from Take Today on Bandcamp: https://taketoday.bandcamp.comGrab Take Today's Skadiving split on cassette here: https://www.skapunkinternational.com/product/take-today-skadiving-up-to-the-top-cassingleCheck Take Today playing live on the Left of the Dial livestream Saturday April 9: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hl505w1irRoListen to the new album from Emily's other project How I Became Invisible this Friday, April 8 here: http://howibecameinvisible.comFollow Take Today on Twitter: https://twitter.com/taketodayFollow Take Today on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/taketoday/---Support Ska Punk International on Patreon for as little as $1 here: https://www.patreon.com/skapunkinternationalYou can email the show at skapunkinternational@gmail.com.

On this episode of Ska Punk International, hyperska superstar Eichlers is here to do a full track by track breakdown of his new album, My Checkered Future.Eichlers has previously been on the show and is one of my favorite people. It's always so much fun to have him on but it's ESPECIALLY fun when I get to talk about new music with him. My Checkered Future is without a doubt one of the most innovative ska albums of all-time. I'm so honored that he was willing to spend time breaking it all down with me. If you haven't checked it out yet, hopefully this break down will help you realize how much thought and production went into the album and you'll give it a shot.Listen here:Watch video for 'Things U C In Me" here: https://youtu.be/eXVhTLnRGNgGrab the album on vinyl here: https://badtimerecords.limitedrun.com/products/720615-eichlers-my-checkered-future-lpDownload the album on Bandcamp here: https://eichlers.bandcamp.com/album/my-checkered-futureEichlers Live Photo by: Alec Pugliese---Support Ska Punk International on Patreon for as little as $1 here: https://www.patreon.com/skapunkinternationalYou can email the show at skapunkinternational@gmail.com.
