Hey all, this is Jr Ska Boss of Viva Ska Radio where every Wednesday my killer partner in crime Selecta Scream & I try to bring the best in Ska. Old and new and whatever else we can throw in to get your toes tapping. It’s a radio show out of Las Vegas, NV and you can check it out on www.dustdevilradio.com 7pm-10pm Pacific on Wednesday evening!

Let’s dance people!

RJ sez: Jr Ska Boss sent me a killer line up for this episode, witched I goosed with tracks from the Dendrites and the Sheldons to send it over the top. It’s easy to do when I’m starting with quality picks. See, Jr Ska Boss is not just a DJ over at Viva Ska Radio, and he just doesn’t DJ at shows between acts, no no no, he’s also a full-on show promoter! I got a chance to meet him at a show he DJ’d a few months ago, and we got on great. I complimented his choices throughout the night and it was some fun conversation, then I was like “Oh, I do a ska podcast” and when I told him the show he seemed super stoked. It was a great moment, and from our latest texts he’s expressed that he’s honored to contribute to the episode, and well, I have to say, I’m honored that he took the time to collaborate with me.

So yeah, here’s a load of 2019 ska and ska/punk for you, and if this is the first time you’re hearing some of these bands, kick-ass, look more into them, they’re all rad. And if you have heard some of them before… you’re welcome, these songs are great, I’m sure you’re glad to hear them again!
