14. The Techniques (w/ Backyard Superheroes)

Rudies, Punks and Nerds unite! Checkered Past welcomes Bex of New Jersey-based Ska Punkers, Backyard Superheroes to truly go way back and cover Rocksteady icons, The Techniques! Bex talks about all things Garden State, the value of authenticity in their music and all the ways the modern Ska scene is a bastion of inclusivity. Afterwards, they get in deep with Techniques; a jaw dropping tale of voodoo spliffs, Rasputin-style invincibility and general Orange Street hooliganism.

Plus: A visit from the Technical Difficulties Fairy... there is some unobtrusive audio fidelity issues in the second half of the episode.
