I just did a review of the new 10″ split album from The Green Room Rockers and The Pinstripes, Midwest Soundclash at my other site, Ska Blah Blah.  There, you’ll find links to purchase and download the record- plus a little embedded player, where you can stream the whole thing for free.

Hear The New GRR/Pinstripes 10?

It wasn’t until after I had already picked out the songs for this episode that I realized, just how darned odd most of them are.  I was recently allowed access to Mr. Paul Stark’s massive ska collection, and I’d guess about 80% of this episode was drawn from there.  Sure, there still a fair share of the standard fare, like brand new tunes from The Green Room Rockers, The Pinstripes, The Drastics, Madness and Courtney John- but many of the songs are coming straight from the fringe’s of the late-80′s/early-90′s ska scene.  All-in-all, a fairly mixed bag of music that you’ve not likely heard before.

I also want to give a big shout out to Miss Maddie Ruthless for providing the introduction for episode.
