Is it reggae? Is it rock? Is it some strange hybrid of the two? On this episode of Soundography, Hammond and Brian take a look at Ska, which has experienced more waves than the Queen of England. We’ll take you through it’s earliest days with bands like The Selecter and The Specials, all the way to newer stuff like Reel Big Fish and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones.
Soundography #58: Ska
A fantastic episode, thank you so much! I’d like to give an honorable mention – or perhaps introduce some folks to – a remarkably enduring ska band from my home state of New South Wales (Australia), The Porkers. May I recommend their ‘Skanking Car Park Blues’, a fabulously fun song about, yes, forgetting where you parked! Good for any time you need to smile 🙂
