The Meddlers WONT LEAVE The Futon!

6-piece SKA band The Meddlers enjoys creating a big band sound out of their horn section, while still maintaining their Ska Core roots.  Trevor learns more about music this episode!  We're so proud of him, he learns about horns...yeah, he didn't know what a 'horn section' in a ska band was.  A little bit more technical, he also learns what a musical "exchange" between instruments is.  Regardless of that, The Meddlers have created a unique listening experience that brings you through a few different musical styles.   Alex and Jonathan talk about the melding of different influences from all the members, including bands outside the Ska scene, including Squirrel Nut Zippers and Leftover Crack.  Their multitude of experiences adds a sense of experience to this young band.  Formed only in 2015, they have already played with some of the well-knowns like The Toasters and the hispanic band Sektacore.  Their writing style also shows their expansive forms, where one or two members would create a melody line and the rest of the band helps finish the song.  These guys work as a team and play as a team.  It's tough with 6 members...took them awhile to even settle on "The Meddlers" as a band name, but it led them to a beautifully simple logo and a bad joke by Trevor.   This band is #HereToStay.  Make sure and check them out at www.themeddlersmusic.com or on their Facebook at facebook.com/themeddlersmusic/ - Check them out on the Dusty Futon!
