My next series of interviews is still a ways off, so I thought I’d try to keep everyone interested by running an all-music series. Look forward to episodes featuring Skinhead Reggae, Dub Revivalism, and more.

In this episode, I play some of the best Neo-Trad Ska to come out of the past couple of years. You’ll hear bands from the States, Europe, and Asia; all of them calling back to Jamaica, but adding something modern.

I’ve added links where I can, and I encourage you to buy something from any of the bands that you like.

The Caroloregians - Super Bikini Link Ska Cubano - Istanbul Link, Link

Pepper Pots - King of the Street Link

Westbound Train - Fatty Fatty, Boom Boom Link

The Debonaires - Interrupted Link

The Determinations feat. Ego Wrapping - A Love Song Video Link

Heavy Step - You Got It (Newish - I couldn’t find any Deal’s Gone Bad)

ASPO - Nuthouse Shuffle Link, Video Link

The Moon Invaders - Consciousness Link

The Pepper Pots - Runaway Video Link

The Upsessions - Cool Ska Time Link

The Slackers - Robots

If you are in a band or know of one, that plays Jamaican Revivalism in any form, and would like it to be featured on an episode of Cut the Chit Chat, please contact me: jjloy@skablahblah.com
