We are Back!
This is kind of a half episode, and more along the lines of the old style interview / music video but I like it. We have short clip from Skankin’ Pickle and a song and interview from The Independents.
All in all not a bad restart!

All you Five Iron Frenzy fans should like this episode. We talk to Reese about one of the places ska got started, and then move much more secular. The boys from Buck O Nine tell us how they got into ska and then play the "Irish Drinking Song". Be sure to look out for FIF’s new DVD coming out soon. Check it out!

This was one of the most frustrating and funniest interviews i have ever done. They are the only band that had a “plan” on how they were going to answer the questions. Reel Big Fish fans should love it, the rest of you wait a couple of weeks and I will have something a little more to your liking.
