Believe it or not, in the late '90s, Christian ska was all the rage. In this episode of In defense of ska, presenters tap into their inner musicologists and explore the bands, sounds, and culture of that movement. Listen above, or wherever you get your podcasts.
The group takes a look at the “big three” of Christian ska, examining Five Iron Frenzy, The Supertones and The Insyderz. They also participate in the second album of The Supertones, Supertones fight backwhich had a great commercial run at the time of its release.
Elsewhere, the hosts talk with two people who were there to witness the rise and fall of Christian ska: Jordan Morris (of Jordan, Jesse, go away) and Kevin T. Porter (of good christian Fun). The duo discusses the music, TV shows, and legacy of the niche microgenre, as well as Katy Perry's anti-masturbation songs and Christian (and ska) roots.
