They're a six-piece that plays some sweet power-ska. A new album is currently set to be released soon. Here more of their tunes here. Another sweet track from Big D and the Kids Table from their album, How It Goes. They too have a new album coming out this year. Exit 24 was a ska band from the island of Oahu. I never got to see those guys play, but rocked their EP, Read...Break!, all throughout high school. I think some members went on to play in other local island ska bands. Stuck Lucky comes from Nashville, TN. Awesome stuff. They'll be playing Bloc Party in April as well as select dates on the Ska is Dead: Young Guns tour. Bloc Party looks awesome and wish I could make it. More info on tha

From the Vault: Episode #15 of the Taking the Lead Media Podcast. Original release date: 03/03/2011.   "Featured on this episode are some indie rock, punk, and pop tunes. Great tracks by The Please & Thank Yous, the Power Pellets, The Slats, Super Bowl Rocket Ship, and Citycop. A few of these bands have some shows lined up this month, so be sure to check out their respective websites or the (finally) updated Shows section for more details. On this episode are The Please & Thank Yous from Chicago. They've been around for four years and have two releases out. Check out their bandcamp for more great tunes. Another great band, but no longer around, are the Power Pellets. I've been listening to these guys for a while now, but never had the good fortune to see them live. I think the first time I ever heard a bass guitar solo was on their track, Classmate, another great song by them. The Slats come from Minnesota, a band of many sounds, playing garage rock tunes to experimental stuff. Really fun to listen to

From the Vault: Episode #14 of the Taking the Lead Media Podcast. Original release date: 02/2010 (It could have been 02/05/2011). I was about 6 months into doing this podcast and having all sorts of fun. Myspace was still a place I did all my correspondence through. I got in touch with every single one of these bands through Myspace with the excepetion of Unit 101, I think I got Jason Miller's blessing to play this track, who would eventually be a guest (yay!) on my podcast 10 years later :D. I got in touch with Chris while he was doing Lands on Fire and got a copy of the Mr. Orange Undercover track from him. I heard Anchors on Myspace, they're from Australia and just fell in love right away. That album, Bad Juju, would later be re-released through Creator-Destructor Records here in the states. She Likes Todd was a band from Chicago that played really great punk-pop, members went on to form Set Fire to Reason. Tear the Place Apart! was a band from Spokane, Wa, and I think they may have been playing with a ban

On August 05, 2023, SØØN played its final show at Aupuni Space. Other bands that played were Feeble, Aswang, and Ten Things (I Hate About You). The last time I got to see SØØN was at Feeble's album release show for Growing out of Touch, back in December 2019, which was also that last time I saw Feeble. It was a really fun show, I had a great time and glad I got to check it out. The annoucement for the final show happened just a few weeks before the event, bummer, but it was a dope set. Cheers to SØØN.
