Bill Stevenson is a punk rock legend. He's the drummer/only consistent member of The Descendants. He played in Black Flag, All and he owns/operates punk-friendly recording studio The Blasting Room. And while most bands that roll through The Blasting Room are punk, Bill has worked with several ska bands, including Mustard Plug, Kemuri, Suicide Machines, Less Than Jake and Big D and the Kids Table. Today we dig into Bill's connection to ska! But we talk about so much more, including recording techniques, pre-show stretching techniques, nightmare tour stories, major label stories, Conan O'Brien stories, Joey Ramone stories, and he tells us about his special drink. Also, I mention an obscure Fort Collins group called The Bob Hollister Band to see if Bill has ever heard of them. Plus he gives us an update on how Milo's been doing since the heart attack. And he answers drum question by Omnigone drummer Justin Amans.  Support the show

Adam Davis is known for fronting Omnigone one of the first bands to sign on and release music on Bad Time Records. Adam played in other groups such as Link 80 and Gnarboots. Adam is the co-host of In Defense of Ska Podcast with his buddy, Aaron Carnes. On this episode Adam chats about being a ska dad, the meaning behind some of the new tracks on Omnigone's latest release (Against the Rest), being in Link 80, joining a cult, and why Escape Rooms rule. It was a blast chatting with Adam about all things! Music | OMNIGONE (bandcamp.com) BAD TIME RECORDS – Bad Time Records In Defense of Ska | Podcast on Spotify Playlist for Episode :)

Welcome to our 116th episode, the one that TRULY matters. This conversation is what everything has led to...where host Aaron Carnes interviews co-host Adam Davis! We did this in our first episode, but in this episode, we go so much deeper. Adam's band, Omnigone just released an incredible album called Against The Rest on Bad Time Records. So we brought on Adam (Not a co-host this time!) along with Omnigone/Blast Bandits bassist Barry Krippene, and drummer Justin Amans (Also from Kitty Kat Fan Club). During this conversation, we talk about Omnigone, Adam and Barry's old band Link 80, Adam and Aaron's old band Gnarboots and find out which Nirvana songs Adam sang at his high school talent show. I read Adam an unpublished 2014 Gnarboots interview he did for the San Francisco Chronicle, we discuss a blog post Adam wrote for Please Don't Hang Out In Front Of The House and Adam explains the importance of applying Tiger Balm to his nether regions before a show. We also talk about how Anthrax inspired Adam to be in a band, why Catbite's name is good and why so many old punk rockers bum Adam the fuck out. Plus, Justin has a soothing message for Mike Park as he prepares himself to listen to this episode.  Support the show

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.'

If you’ve found yourself on Twitter during the pandemic, you might have noticed Pabst Blue Ribbon tweeting about everything from pro-wrestling to milk to ska. And these ska tweets haven’t been generic mainstream 90s ska memes. No, Pabst has expressed their undying affection for Asian Man Records, MU330, and has even released several “Rat Jamz” mixes that include new ska bands like Catbite, Kill Lincoln, We Are The Union, Grey Matter, Bad Operation, and Omnigone. But who is Pabst? We did some deep digging and found out that the Pabst social media manager is Corey Smale. And get this…Corey played in a Missouri ska band in the late 90s/early 2000s. Obviously, we needed to bring him on the podcast and tell us his entire ska story. But first, the three of us determined which beverage is the most ska. Was it Pabst, Arizona, Surge, or Ska Brewing? Listen and find out! Plus Corey tells us that the Rat Jamz were curated by Get Tuff, who you might have seen do guest vocals on Skatune Network’s cover of Britney Spears “Toxic.” We also discuss Eve 6, Corey’s band opening for MU330, and we make a deal for Pabst to sponsor a Catbite cartoon! We even suggest the plot for episode 1 be a dramatic retelling of their heroic journey to rescue Mannequin Pussy’s stolen van. Hopefully Pabst makes this happen!

Welcome to Ska Boom Interviews, which is the audio companion to my book Ska Boom: An American Ska & Reggae Oral History now available from DiWulf Publishing and Amazon.   In this episode, I'm speaking with Mike Sosinski -- who is the guitarist and lead singer of ska punk band Kill Lincoln and also the head honcho of Bad Time Records, a ska punk label based in Alameda, California. Bands on the Bad Time label include many of the bands now making waves in the American ska and ska punk scene and beyond including Kill Lincoln, We Are The Union, Catbite, Bad Operation, Skatune Network, Omnigone and more. We had a far ranging conversation that touched on Mike's ska "lightning bolt" moment, what is was like to grow up in the New Jersey ska scene of the early 2000's, the origin of the Kill Lincoln name and why ska punk is polarizing to parts of the ska community and why the success of the diverse range of bands on the Bad Time label is good for everyone in ska.  He also shares what its like to run a DIY record label and market new ska punk music.  Please note: The music clips included in this podcast fall under the “Fair Use Doctrine” as defined by Section 107 of the Copyright Act.

If there is one person that may be holding the ska community together, it may be Brent Friedman, who is our guest this week. Brent is known within the greater ska scene for being the drummer for We Are The Union, Skatune Network & Omnigone, but he also works very hard behind the scenes for Bad Time Records, Suicide Machine & Skatune Network among others. Growing up in Huntington Beach, CA, Brent fell in love with the ska scene, and soon became well known as "that ska guy" (much to his chagrin), eventually opting to wear it as a badge of pride and taking it as far as creating his social media handle @pleasetagmeinyourskaposts to solidify the truth that YES, he is in fact THAT SKA GUY! As a true defender of the genre, he has spent a good portion of his adult life affiliated with some of the biggest names in the ska world, and as is laid out in our discussion, he is beyond proud of where ska has gotten during the last few years, and his role in that. We spend some time learning about how he got involved in the various projects that he works with. We dig into the role that "Ska Twitter" plays in keeping things within the scene buzzing, and we reflect a bit on whether or not there is potential 'danger' of ska potentially falling out of favor again (psst... it never went away in the first place, so the answer is NO!). He also provides some artists that you should have on your radar, as well as his 5 desert island albums.

This week, Andy is stoked to have Philadelphia ska band Catbite as guests. The 4-piece outfit have been making waves within the ska/punk scene over the last few years, making a huge splash with their debut self-titled album, which was released in 2019 via Bad Time Records. In 2020, the band had big touring plans, which were unfortunately sidelined from the pandemic, but that didn't stop the band from delivering a TON of output in the form of a split 7-inch EP with label mates Omnigone, several music videos, some cover songs, collaborations with the likes of Mike Park, and even a livestream performance or two. We caught the band just after returning home from recording their follow up album in Long Beach, CA, and we go into a bit of history of the band, along with some discussion on where they are hoping to go. We talk about how the ska scene is just THRIVING right now, and we go over some of their favorite artists and albums.

On today's episode, Andy has a great conversation with his old friend Adam Davis. Adam is the singer of one of the most exciting new Ska-Punk bands out there, Omnigone. Adam is also one half of the "you have to witness it to really describe it" outfit, G.N.A.R.B.O.O.T.S. A veteran of the DIY music scene, Adam was a longtime member of the much loved ska-core band Link 80, and was also in the bands DESA and Flat Planet. Beyond his work in music, Adam is also a very talented graphic artist, having designed t-shirts, album covers, posters, and more for a number of artists/bands. In this episode we explore a bit about what it means to be part of the 'new' old guard, the benefits of leading an active fitness lifestyle, what happens when you take a band that is held in high regard and create something brand new out of it, and of course, we dig into some of his favorite bands/albums. Omnigone released a full-length album, No Faith, via Bad Time Records, and have done a split 7" with label mates Catbite. You can find them both at www.badtimerecords.com Question The Answers hosted by Andy Pohl, is co-sponsored by The Bad Copy and Sell The Heart Records, be sure to follow them as well to stay up to date on music news, reviews, and to check out the releases on our label.

Doughboys is an extremely popular podcast. On it, hosts Nick Wiger and Mike Mitchell discuss chain restaurants, while also chopping it up with different weekly guests, many of who are comedians. Doughboys is kind of a food podcast and kind of a comedy podcast. And it's a lot of fun to listen to. It's perfect because who doesn't have strong opinions about chain restaurants like Taco Bell, Cheesecake Factory, Olive Garden, Arby's, and Outback Steakhouse? Avid Doughboys listeners have noticed ska pop up on the show occasionally. That's because Nick has a ska past. So, we brought him on the show to discuss it. When he was a teenager, he played sax in an Orange County ska band called My Other Brother Darryl (A Newhart reference). Nick also went to high school with Reel Big Fish members Tavis Werts (Trumpet) and Danny Regan (Trombone), so he got to witness Reel Big Fish's rise to the mainstream from a unique, inside angle. We talk about this, and the various ska bands he likes (No Doubt, Let's Go Bowling, Save Ferris, Aquabats) and find out what the chances are of him ever attending a ska show again. We also talk about how Mighty Mighty Bosstones frontman Dicky Barrett nearly appeared on Doughboys, Nick's history on the clarinet, bassoon, and saxophone, and we determine what is the official ska fast food. Plus, we talk about Taco Bravo (our favorite shitty restaurant, located in San Jose, CA), Nick's love/hate relationship with Jack In The Box, and Comedy Bang Bang host Scott Aukerman's ska connections. We break down a few Funny or Die skits Nick made back when he worked there (The Monster Fuck, Jar Jar Binks Gungan style). We also talk about Pears' love for Doughboys (And their connection to ska band, Bad Operation), and go into detail about PUP's brilliant performance on a Doughboy's livestream: a food parody version of their song “Reservoir.” Plus, we make a plea to former IDOS guest Jordan Morris to take Nick to a ska show. Help us Jordan.

This is the first episode of our 4th season, and it's our first as part of the Consequence Podcast Network. So that means, we had to go big this week. We brought the one and only P-Nut on the show. That's right, the bass player for 311. Today we talk about how 311's journey overlapped with the rise of ska in the 90s, and how the group existed in a space adjacent to the music. But it makes sense. The group is influenced by ska and reggae, amongst other genres of music. So, P-Nut follows us down this rabbit hole and talks about playing Bob Marley at early 311 rehearsals, playing shows with Fishbone, Voodoo Glow Skulls, The Urge, Reel Big Fish, Goldfinger and No Doubt. And even headlining the ska festival Back To The Beach in 2018. We even dive headfirst into a discussion about 311's most ska track, “I'll Be Hear Awhile.” Plus, we talk about The Wailers' bassist Aston “Family Man” Barett, opening for Jay-Z, vibing to Mighty Mighty Bosstones tapes, covering Red Hot Chilli Peppers' “Taste The Pain” at his high school talent show, and how 311 played its first official show as the opening act for Fugazi! And, P-Nut tells us all about how much he loves 100 gecs. fWe also talk about his old dreadlocks, his appearance in Jordan Morris' graphic novel Bubble, being abused by Eric Andre during the “Investigate 311” sketch, and we ask the biggest, most important question of all time: Can Jeff Rosenstock play the 311 Cruise? If you'd like to support us and listen to early access, ad-free episodes with bonus content, check out our Patreon! If you like our theme song, go download the EP Lives by Slow Gherkin.

Does being a ska fan inherently make someone an antifascist? While this topic gets frequently debated among ska fans, it's important to remember that antiracism and antifascism have long been an important part of the ska scene. The 2 Tone ska bands were explicit in their stance. They came up at a time when fascism was on the rise in England, and they dealt with nazi skinheads at their shows. And the bands (mostly) didn't shy away from confronting these nazis and putting them in their place. This battle has continued to be part of ska and punk as time has progressed. But what does it mean to be an antifascist. And how has the battle between white supremacists and anti-fascists changed over the years? This is the central question we address in this week's episode with Josh Fernandez, author of the new book, The Hands that Crafted the Bomb: The Making of a Lifelong Antifascist, which will be released on PM Press on February 13, 2023. Josh started going to punk shows in Davis, CA in the late '80s. Many Nazis invaded these shows, so he and his friends organized and fought back. He continues to oppose nazis, proud boys, Patriot Front and other far right groups in the street to this day. But the battleground is no longer punk shows. His book tells his story. The main thread is about how he was under investigation at the college he teaches at because he started an Campus Antifascist Network chapter there. He nearly lost his job. Teen Vogue even interviewed him about the experience. We also talk about Josh's history as a music journalist, his horrible experiences interviewing David Choe and Immortal Technique, his love for Sublime, seeing Operation Ivy back in the day, why he doesn't think colleges are actually leftist, and he talks about how running marathons helped him quit drugs. Plus, we learn which of his tattoos he likes the best! If you'd like to support us and listen to early access, ad-free episodes with bonus content, check out our Patreon! If you like our theme song, go download the EP Lives by Slow Gherkin.

Los Fabulosos Cadillacs is one of the biggest ska bands in the world. They formed in Argentina in 1985 and continue to be a major global force in ska and in pop music in general. But Los Fabulosos didn't evolve out of thin air. This week, we get a crash course on ska's history in Argentina. To walk us through this fascinating history, we chat with musician and ska historian Daniel Flores. He plays in the Argentinian trad ska band Satélite Kingston, he is the chief editor at Rolling Stone Argentina and he wrote a book in 2013 about the history of ska in Argentina called Manera Correcta De Gritar. In addition to Los Fabulosos, we talk about important Argentinian groups like Sumo, Los Auténticos Decadentes, Los Intocables, Los Pericos and others. We also talk about key moments like an early Police concert in Buenos Aires in the early '80s as well as Mano Negra's first performance in Argentina in the early '90s. Plus, Daniel explains how important Madness were to the popularization of ska in Argentina.We learn how different ska development was in Mexico and Argentina. And we even learn about an early figure in Argentina, Ronnie Montalban, who released the ska record Señor Canibal in '60s. Plus, we discuss Argentina's role in Rock en tu idioma movement in the '80s.  We also talk to Daniel about his history with ska, which includes a three year stint in Washington DC during his high school years, where he saw bands like The Skunks, The Toasters, Bim Skala Bim, Pietasters and a Mötley Crüe ska cover band called Skatley Crüe. We learn all about Daniel's friendship with the Loving Pauper's Jorge Pezzimenti. It all started in Sao Paulo, Brazil with copious drinks and karaoke. If you'd like to support us and listen to early access, ad-free episodes with bonus content, check out our Patreon! If you like our theme song, go download the EP Lives by Slow Gherkin.

Comedian Anna Valenzuela has gone to Fest for the past 3 years. She feels right at home there because she grew up going to punk and ska shows, and when she started comedy in 2014, she often performed on the same bills as punk bands. She got involved in LA's roast battle scene in 2015 and even participated in the Comedy Central show Jeff Ross Presents Roast Battle the following year. This week, we discuss the pockets of comedy in Anna's world and see where they overlap with ska. Fest comes up a lot this week, as does the band Folly. She even tells us an entire story about Folly's merch person. She also talks about Devon Kay covering Kelly Clarkson, the joys of seeing Eve 6, and her friendship with Jon Graber (Who's worked with We Are The Union, NOFX, and MxPx). She tells us all about LA's roast battle scene (including The Wave), about being a blackbelt in karate, teaching Esteban Flores how to stretch, and she tells us about recording her new special Murderpuss, which she will release in 2024 on Brandie Posey's label, Burn This Records. Plus, she heaps copious praise on Adam Davis and his band Omnigone. Will she use an Omnigone song on her new special?

People are still fascinated by the idea of Satanic ska. So much that metal magazine Loudwire wrote an article in 2021 called “Satanic Ska is a Real Thing that Actually Exists.” The article was about Mephiskapheles, a New York ska band that formed in 1990. For their debut album, God Bless Satan, they created a unique sound that blended traditional ska rhythms with jazzy and experimental songwriting. As the band progressed, they got weirder and experimental. But what was the tone of group? We tackle this question by speaking to founders Mikal Reich (drums), and Brendan Tween (guitar). They give us a glimpse into the dry, maniacal, advertising-fueled satire of Mephiskapheles' early years. It's our 2nd Mephiskapheles episode. Mikal and Brendan have a somewhat different perspective on the group than was presented in our prior interview. So make sure to listen to that one too when you get a chance. We also talk about Brendan's '80s hardcore band The Shaved Pigs, their time working at Greenwich Village Mexican restaurant Panchito's—they worked with Jon Stewart! Mikal even got him fired. We talk about chaotic shows at Wetlands (One time they baptized Chris Gethard in Satan's blood on stage) and getting banned from venues due to skinhead violence. Plus, Mikal tells us his connection to comedian (and former IDOS guest) Jon Daly. We get a full history on their song “The Bumble Bee Tuna Song,” we learn how they got their song “Doomsday” on MTV prior to the station's interest in ska, getting a shoutout from Rancid, how future pick-up artist Neil Strauss interviewed Mikal for a NY Times article about ska, and we get a breakdown of the production work Victor Rice and Bill Laswell did on God Bless Satan. We also talk about Mikal and Brendan's new band Barbicide and even discuss the cocktail it inspired. Plus, we learn that The Skatalites' Tommy McCook called the band Meph-i-ridiculous, since he wasn't too keen on a ska band worshiping the devil. If you'd like to support us and listen to early access, ad-free episodes with bonus content, check out our Patreon! If you like our theme song, go download the EP Lives by Slow Gherkin.

Nerdcore hip-hop entered mainstream consciousness in 2016 when a contestant on Jeopardy mentioned being a fan of the genre. Then, host Alex Trebek made a joke about fans of the genre being losers. Mega Ran, one of the main figures nerdcore (Hip-hop that focuses on video games, comic books, anime and other “nerd” topics) posted a diss back at Trebek. It quickly turned into a full on diss track with every major nerdcore rapper. At shows, Mega Ran had the audience shout, “Suck it Trebek!” Today we show how nerdcore is connected to ska. This year, Mega Ran released a kids album called Buddy's Magic Toy Box, which has a ska song (“Recess”) on it. He modeled the song, after “Super Rad!” by The Aquabats. And he brought on Jer from Skatune Network as well as Stacked Like Pancakes to play on the track. It's a killer song. Mega Ran's relationship to ska goes even deeper. MC Lars introduced him to several artists in the genre years back. They'd listen to ska while on tour. Mega Ran loves the genre so much, he proudly wears a shirt that says, “Ska and Pro Wrestling are the Only Legitimate Forms of Art.” We discuss all of this as well as other tracks on Mega Ran's record, Buddy's Magic Toy Box. There's songs about fruit, bullying, self-esteem and one on the history of rap music. It's got a reggae groove as a tip of the hat to DJ Kool Herc and the genre's Jamaican roots. We also talk about how Mega Ran got a song in Kevin Smith's film Clerks 3. We talk about chip/ska artist Lo(u)ser ie Chris Graue. We discuss video game math rock band The Minibosses who famously cover the DuckTales theme song at their shows, and we talk about Mega Ran's new music festival in Yuma, AZ called Dream Master Mixtape Music Festival. Former IDOS guests AJJ and Open Mike Eagle played the festival this year. Plus, with the help of IDOS friend Dane Jackson, we ask Mega Ran several pro-wrestling questions.

Nathan Gray has played music with their band Boysetsfire for decades. But only once during the band's run did they dabble in ska (“Deja Coup”). But that has completely changed now with Nathan's new group, The Iron Roses, a joyful punk band with heavy doses of ska and reggae. The joy in the band is purposeful, a middle finger aimed at the rise in racism, homophobia, transphobia and fascism, making ska the perfect vehicle for the band's message. This week we speak to Nathan and Iron Roses' co-lead vocalist Beck Fontaine. The group released their debut, self-titled record in October 2023. They've already done some touring and are really excited about the band. And they have big plans for 2024. It's a great record, and they play ska well. But the question on our minds was, where did this band—totally unconnected from the ska scene, with little history playing the genre—come from? And what motivated them to go all in on ska-punk in 2023? We talk about Nathan's love for The English Beat, The Specials, Black Uhuru, Burning Spear and Trojan Records skinhead reggae. Also, we talk about Becky's history with musical theater and how that informs The Iron Roses' unique approach to lead vocals. Plus, we learn that co-host Adam Davis was an extra in the film adaptation of Rent! Nathan talks about the new ska bands that inspire them (We Are The Union, Catbite, Kill Lincoln), the important message in Iron Roses' song “Old Guard,” and we learn about Nathan's long and difficult journey in coming out as non-binary. Plus, we learn all about how Nathan spoke out against Pantera playing a music festival Boysetsfire was booked to play (due to lead singer Phil Anselmo's history of racism). And they tell us about their long friendship and admiration for Frank Turner. Plus, we all took a moment to discuss how much we love the film Swing Kids. If you'd like to support us and listen to early access, ad-free episodes with bonus content, check out our Patreon! If you like our theme song, go download the EP Lives by Slow Gherkin.

St. Louis ska band MU330 was formed in 1988. Different members came and went through the course of their first two full-lengths, but by the time they went to record their 1997 masterpiece, Crab Rangoon, they locked in as a five-piece with Dan Potthast, Ted Moll, Chris Diebold, Rob Bell, and former Skankin' Pickle trombonist Gerry Lundquist. That lineup hasn't changed since. Most curious about this lineup is the horn section: Two slide trombones. Rather than lean into the high, peppy brass of trumpets or the sultry vibe of saxophones, it was pure trombone action. With the entire horn section sliding, it sometimes added an unsettling effect to their lines, a curious, unique sound that further distinguished them from other 90s ska bands.Today we celebrate one of the best '90s ska bands, by hanging out with their incredible horn section: Trombonist Rob Bell and trombonist Gerry Lundquist. For anyone who toured during the '90s or early 2000s, it was common knowledge that Rob and Gerry were incredible, hilarious, and always a delight to hang out with. They zoomed in to talk to us from a St. Louis bar of course! We talk about tattoos, touring with Link 80, weird experiences in Europe, Rob winning the Buddy Lee jump rope contest, Rob hanging out with Against Me's Laura Jane Grace, Devil sticks, and garlic ice cream at the Gilroy Garlic FestivalWe also talk about Gerry moving to St. Louis and staying at Dan Potthast's house, beer farming, Rob seeing The Cramps (his first punk show), their experience playing The Outhouse in Lawrence, Kansas, and the infamous Link 80 Fireworks War. Plus, Rob reveals to us exactly who Pepe is! If you'd like to support us and listen to early access, ad-free episodes with bonus content, check out our Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/indefenseofska If you like our theme song, go download the EP Lives by Slow Gherkin.

The Police exploded in the late 70s. By the early '80s they were one of the biggest bands in the world with countless hits like “Roxanne,” “Every Breath You Take,” and “Don't Stand So Close To Me.” They were classified as New Wave, but ska and reggae were prominent influences in their songs. Their popularity pre-dated the 2 Tone ska explosion. Nearly all of those bands—The Specials, The Selecter, Madness, The Beat, The Bodysnatchers, Bad Manners—opened up for The Police at some point. Today we bring on The Police's drummer, Stewart Copeland. His drumming was highly informed by ska/reggae. In fact, he was the first member of the group to fall in love with the music. We discuss The Police's career, 2 Tone ska, reggae drumming and also talk about his new book, Stewart Copeland's Police Diaries. We also talk about how The Police were “fake punks” during the UK British movement, Stewart's first time seeing The Specials at The Hammersmith Palais and talking to Madness' singer Suggs about the show. We talk about UB40's place in the 2 Tone scene, as well as the important role that Stewart's brothers Miles and Ian played in all of this music gaining a larger audience. We talk about Don Letts role in popularizing reggae among punks, British skinheads, how Stewart discovered reggae in Berkeley (and how he found similarities to the Baladi music he heard as a child growing up in Egypt and Beirut.) And we talk about his weird side project Klark Kent, who actually scored a hit single before The Police! Plus, Stewart gives us an impassioned rant about music that is aimed at The Specials leader Jerry Dammers. If you'd like to support us and listen to early access, ad-free episodes with bonus content, check out our Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/indefenseofska If you like our theme song, go download the EP Lives by Slow Gherkin.

Author Dan Ozzi's 2021 book “Sellout” brilliantly profiled 11 punk/hardcore/emo bands that signed to a major label in the 90s/2000s (Green Day, Against Me, Jawbreaker, At The Drive-In). He showed minute details of the scenes these bands came from, how and why they signed to a major, and ultimately what impact making this jump had on them. What's interesting is how differently each band was impacted by releasing a “sellout” record. We brought Dan Ozzi this week to search for signs of ska in his book. While no ska band was profiled, the genre comes up occasionally on the sidelines. Plus, we learn that Less Than Jake (and their “sellout” record “Losing Streak”) was considered as one of the profiles for his book. But we also talk about Chris Farren, Jeff Rosenstock, Glenn Danzig, Catch 22, Jersey ska band Professor Plum, and we explore all the connections between Jimmy Eat World and Less Than Jake. Plus, Dan also tells us wild Gilman stories that came up in his research. We also talk about Blink 182's connection to ska, how many times people brought up Reel Big Fish to him while he was promoting his book, and we discuss new genres that are over all our heads (Indie Sleaze). Plus, we talk about a brilliant 90s Star Trek-themed garage band called The Vulcaneers that featured Gerry Lundquist and Lars Nylander of Skankin' Pickle.

Hard Times recently declared Flying Raccoon Suit to be the best ska band out of Mississippi. But, as good as they are, they don't have a lot of competition—they don't live in an area filled with ska or punk bands. But part of their charm is this very thing—they bring different influences and life experiences to ska.This is especially apparent in their new highly diverse album, Moonflower, which was released on Bad Times Records on November 3rd. This week, we bring on FRS members Andrew Heaton and Jessica Jeansonne to discuss the band's history, life on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and their excellent new record. But we also talk about Garfield, Jessica's cartoon character voices, how Andrew plays guest horn in every band, growing up steeped in jazz, and how they searched high and low for the weirdest pizza on tour. We also talk about NOFX's “Darby Crashing Your Party” music video, which took its premise from Flying Raccoon Suit's “Swan Song” video. We talk about guest horn player Eric Molina getting stuck in Canada. And we talk about Duck's upcoming horror movie, Amityvillenado. Plus, we learn the truth about Flying Raccoon Suit: They're just a bunch of anxious goobers. If you'd like to support us and listen to early access, ad-free episodes with bonus content, check out our Patreon!
