Bendin' It Bad 21Jul18

Back in COS to collect some heat (too many 50° nights makes a guy short of suffer) and friends (Haine's here in a couple of days for the summer fish fest) - meanwhile I'm testin' limits on SKAcore/Rocksteady stuff and bent it hard on modern stages to some cool stuff beyond LA's Interupters and Nashville's Soul Radics (both of whom are stellar). Of course I chased down hazy juicy IPAs for the task and found Two Juicy from Two Roads in Connecticut - up to the task.

First SKA bend around the corner is Lolly Pop Lorry ~ a Russian SKA endeavor. Right? Weird. Very good shit actually. Recent?- youbetcha... but there's plenty of competent stuff in turquoise and red - dive deep and you see these youngsters are makin' keen vibe.

2nd bend about is equally weird but different - an dub-rap-SKA variant named Wicked Dub Division meets North East Ska Jazz Orchestra. So cool.
