Codename:Rocky (EP.213)

On The Upbeat

This week Justin and Bill from Codename:Rocky join us. First, we all discuss our own near death experiences. Next, we ask Justin about what it was like replacing the band’s original lead singer. Bill and Justin breakdown the writing and recording process of their latest EP, Foundation. We talk about releasing music in today’s music industry and making a vinyl record. All of this and of course ska news and our ska picks of the week.
