23min of Ska : the Stomp Records Special!

Stomp Records was founded in 1994 by Matt Collyer of The Planet Smashers and Jordan Swift of The Kingpins, so you know, it’s gotta pedigree of greatness. It was THEE Canadian ska label as far as I knew when I was younger. I literally thought every Canadian ska band put out a record on Stomp. Well, not quite but hell, there’s a ton of Canadian quality on for you to check out and get down with!

23min of Ska : Maple Bar

Neighbors are pretty great, eh? I suggest you get to know yours if you don’t already. I’ve been fortunate enough to have always lived next to some pretty kind folks. From out in the country when there’s an acre of land between you both, to apartments where you can hear each other sneeze, I’ve been lucky to have mostly lived near people I could party with, have drinks with, or at the very least, exchange pleasantries with in the elevator. It’s a small world, so it’s best if we look out for each other, start with your family, extend to your neighbors, it’s always worth it.

23min of Ska : End of the Evening

It is the end of another night out on the town, what kind of craziness did you get into? Me, not too much, beers drank w/ old friends from back home, catching up w/ some family and friends, so you know, the usual, it is what late nights were meant for. I know it is so cold in the rest of the country, but Los Angeles is so warm that it is already getting me in that Springtime mood. It is pretty crazy! Raise your glasses if you’ve had a great night out lately, and tip them (and a few more) back if you need one.
