This week we are joined by Andrew and Kerley from Flying Raccoon Suit. We start off with a chat about bowling and ska music. We then get some ska news. Andrew and Kerley tell us how they each got into ska and we hear about the early days of Flying Raccoon Suit. We discuss the band’s Kickstarter for their new album, Afterglow. We also world premiere their new song, Driftwood. Andrew and Kerley tell us about writing the new record and working many musical styles into a unique ska sound. Lastly, we have a discussion about what makes for a good live show and we give you our ska picks of the week.
