EP.64-Aaron Carnes: In Defense of Ska

This week we speak with writer, Aaron Carens. Aaron tells us about his new book, In Defense of Ska. We learn what lead to the books creation, why ska needed defending and why ska fans love ska memes. We also talk about the fourth wave and we get some stories not featured in the book. It’s a good discussion about the history and current state of the ska scene. We also give you ska news and our ska picks of the week.
