100% Ska Podcast Ep S04E12 – Penniless Loafers Interview and El Paso Records Spotlight

Tonight on 100% Ska, we sit down with Jersey City’s own Penniless Loafers on the eve of their album – Living the Plan B – being released on Bandcamp (get the digital download or CD now and watch the music video for their song Milo!) and give a listen to some new and classic NJ ska, including a track the recent debut EP from The End Times. We also take a trip across the Atlantic all the way to Spain to spotlight the label El Paso Records! They’ve been releasing some great 45 singles over the past few years including their Western Reggae Hits series (with spaghetti westerns themes getting the reggae treatment). And don’t forget, Saturday 4/17 DJ Ryan Midnight will be doing a livestream vinyl set starting at 9pm EST – check out the Facebook event page for all the details!
