Episode 96: Rx Bandits

This week we’re discussing every album by Rx Bandits. If you’re a listener of this show, you already know how much Mike and Alex don’t like ska, so this is a rough one. However, Matt Embree’s Rx Bandits went far beyond traditional ska, eventually becoming a full-fledged prog band by their final albums. Alex and Mike get into it here and disagree more than they ever have.

Closing track: “Bled to Be Free” from Mandala (2009)
