On tonight’s episode we welcome Dave McWane, lead singer of Big D and the Kids Table, to the show on the eve of the band’s brand new release, Do Your Art, being released on SideOneDummy Records.

We talk the production of the album, get deep into the meaning behind the song “Forever a Freak”, discuss an upcoming side project Dave is working on and more!

The album itself can be ordered direct from SideOneDummy Records and will be available as of 10/22.

We also listen to some legends of ska from the Boston scene, bring your more slices of ska from around the US, and wish a happy birthday to two landmark records, which were release 42 years ago today!
