Not your usual response in the middle of the summer hols but... It means I get to road test our new waterproof coat.
It's warm with its fleece lining, waterproof (not water resistant/shower proof,) snug around the arse to stop the wind getting up your back. Zippable pockets so your iPod or walkman doesn't fall out. Concealed hood that acts like a neck cushion and keeps your neck warm.
If you have bought any of our other merch, you know we don't scrimp on quality. It's a Regatta jacket so a reputable make. And every sale helps pay for licensing and broadcasting fees!

Coming up tonight is a focus on skacore / metalliska to celebrate the release of Master of Trumpets on Pookout Records from 21:00-22:00
Check out how awesome August 22nd is. Some true landmark releases.
1989 sees the release of the Mighty Mighty BossToneS debut album Devils Night Out, one of the earliest skacore albums.
Then in 95 The Selecter releases the underrated Pucker and Rancid releases the essential And Out Come The Wolves... The Rancid album was absolutely key for exposing a lot of punks to ska. Time Bomb is one of those tracks the crosses the divide so well and with songs like Ruby Soho and Daly City Train it launched so many skapunk bands. For skapunk it did what The Specials debut did for ska. An essential album for any ska or punk fan.

Morning all - it's on www.buttondownradio.com and we play a little extra Mad Men related stuff across the day than normal.
In Nutty history, Yesterday's Men was released on this day in 1985. It was the lead single of the 6th album Mad Not Mad and spent 7 weeks in the UK charts reaching number 18.
It received mixed reviews in the music press. Ian Cranna of Smash Hits wrote, This mournful little exhortation to hang on in there with gentle percussion and varied instrumental weaving must be quite satisfying to record after being so nutty for so long, but it's hardly soul-stirring stuff." Whilst Paolo Hewitt of NME felt that Madness "have never sounded so wistful and yet so relaxed as this song of optimism and smashed dreams". He praised Suggs' vocals for "fast becoming the vehicle to carry off such sentiments" and noted the song's "lilting and haunting refrain". He concluded it was "assured, classy and irresistible music".
It must get better in the long run. Has to get better in the long run.
Say there - do you like ska?
Well that's no surprise given you're on this page....
Do you like metal?
Okay this getting kinda niche....
If you do like ska and metal like me.... then you run the risk of being afflicted with

Mr P
It would appear the power of the music in this week's Featured This Week session was too much and messed the servers up...
Back on again
Storming through August and what a batch of new ska we have for you this week on this week’s FEATURED THIS WEEK session on www.buttondownradio.com
First up is from Peruvian Trads Vieja Skina who have released a set of hidden gems in the guise of ‘Rare Tracks’. 7 tracks of dubs (from Mad Professor and Victor Rice no less) a couple of new versions of familiar and a killer Specials cover. A great addition to this year’s album releases.
New to us is the 2 Tone sounds of The TroubleMakers from Parma in Italy. They have released their single Rude Boy which has stacks of energy, a bouncing beat, piercing brass, rumbling bass and rockabilly guitar. Great stuff to get you stomping.
Now for some Bristolian ska fusion in the form of the new single from SKANKt - Fake News. Politically aware and had enough of the bu****it - Skankt calls it all out. This is a cool single by these good people. The sound is decidedly British with phased skanking guitar sound, multi voiced chorus and muted brass breaks. Partly acknowledging style from Citizen Fish and Dub Pistols, this is a fresh festival ready sound.
The Newport Secret Six hail from Ohio and have released their latest album - Rising Tide. Rising Tide brings us 10 tracks of raw, energetic but down and dirty ska and rocksteady. It’s pretty refreshing actually. They take a few risks and everything’s not as obvious as it first sounds. There is a depth to their sound that keeps you guessing. The production is kinda raggedy and this gives them an authentic feel. They have been performing since 2006 and have a decent back catalogue for me to discover.
MONKEY are back baby! Their new album - Barrel of Dub features dubs of many of your Monkey favourites by Roger Rivas (The Aggrolites), Dubmatix, Crazy Baldhead (The Slackers), Victor Rice, Black Market Dub, Wise Owl and Dubrobot. Modern dub royalty right there! It’s available to pre-order now from https://escapehatchrecords.com/products/monkey-barrel-of-dub-lp And they are bringing a few copies over to Blighty where they are embarking upon a UK tour from 28th August - September 8th with only one day off - legends. Check the flyer in comments!
Chilean outfit Los Caurolites team up with Peruvian Pedro Psicosis from Psicosis Ska for their single Al Bailar (When Dancing) and it’s a speedy, raw skanking trip resplendent with twiddly guitar solo and what sounds like melodica.
ALBUM OF THE YEAR contender coming in from Intensified! YES! Intensified are back with their first album for 13 years - Hang Fire and it does not disappoint. So so great to hear all new tracks from these guys. Kicking off with Astronaught - the sound is so familiar but enhanced by a Roger Rivas keys break which will delight Aggrolites fans. Now I am of the Yard Shaker era Intensified stuff and that was a bit of a benchmark to which I measured all new trad against until now…. Hang Fire has become the new measure. Their sound has found new depth. It’s a more complex sound with becoming over complicated to the listener. They can belt out the sweetest rocksteady and bang out absolute skankers but the sound is…. fuller, bigger. I can’t quite put my finger on it - the tick-a-tacking hi hat, a slightly rougher production that allows the sounds to bleed together. The band has matured like fine wine and the sound is even better for it. If you dig The Slackers, The Aggrolites etc - you need this in your life.
Chinatown Ska delighted us last month with their single Lyndhurst 8 and have now released an EP - Sesiones En Cuarentena. 4 tracks of Chilean influenced trad shufflers with a brilliant version of Dawn Penn’s No No No. Now out on Bandcamp.
Finally this week on the cracking Aggrobeat label comes the new single from Boss Capone and Keith Rowe (Keith and Tex) Will You Still Be My Girl Tomorrow is a beautiful rocksteady track with a rootsy Trouble In The Town on the flip. Very cool indeed - order from https://www.aggroshop.nl/ (and I espy a new Rudy Mills single in there too!)
Fancy catching me play some of these tunes live?
8th - 10th Nov Specialized The Big One 2024 with The Rough Kutz, King Hammond, The Specials Family, AKA The Syndicate, Instincts Take Over, Ruts DC, The Skapones, Cartoon Violence, New Tonic, Bad Manners Q&A and many, many more to be announced! (Bit presumptuous but we have DJ’d the last two!)
