This week on In Defense of Ska, the gang travels to the ska-loving country of Japan to interview the amazing ska-punk group Hey Smith. Listen to the band’s singer and primary songwriter Shu and trombonist Ume (also of Kill Lincoln) chat about the band’s growth, music, and more above, or wherever you get your podcasts.
The In Defense of Ska crew, Shu, and Ume discuss everything from the band’s origins to their most recent accomplishments, like signing to a major label and touring in the United States. Plus, Shu and Ume talk about how they wrote ska-punk jams for more than one popular anime series, while the podcast hosts try to (unsuccessfully) sneak in a question or two about Kill Lincoln.
Listen Shu and Ume of Hey Smith chat about all of this and more above, and make sure to like, review, and follow the series wherever you get your podcast.
