Hornpod: A Ska Podcast

The Slackers and Hornpod reunite for another Things I Can't Forget. In this chat, Vic Ruggiero, David Hillyard, Glen Pine, and "Agent" Jay" Nugent join the conversation to go in depth about their new EP, "Money is King." Tune in for the stories behind each track and the threads between them. For the first time ever, this episode was recorded with a couple dozen audience members on the Zoom call, giving feedback and asking questions via the chat. Off topic questions include such subjects as recently discovered music, horror films, and Vic impressions."Money is King" is streaming everywhere, available for download on Bandcamp, and available on vinyl from Pirates Press.

Shortly before his untimely death, Greg Lee of Hepcat dreamt of a Slackers song. Now, Dave Hillyard and The Slackers have brought that dream song into reality.

The Slackers podcast returns to discuss this new single, My Last Star, and how its creation comes from outside our conscious world. Out soon on Pirates Press Records.

JJ and Matt chatted with Carlos Malcolm, a ska legend, composer, and author about ska history and his new music with Western Standard Time.

Mr. Malcolm shared stories of the early days of ska, as detailed in his memoir, Carlos Malcolm: A Personal History of Post-War Jamaican Music.

Of course, Eitan Avineri from WST joined us to round out the conversation. The new album is called Anthology of Carlos Malcolm: 60 Years of Excellence and features THREE new tunes recorded with Western Standard Time.

Four ska experts consumed a year's worth of ska releases and we're ready to compare our top tens.

Cody Freedom (the keeper of the master ska list on Spotify) and Dane Jackson (the columnest behind Ska, Punk and Other Junk) join us to talk about the year we had.

A soundclash of ska podcast giants! An anniversary celebration! An epic crossover event!
