Half Past Two episode

Half Past Two episode

Author: Alejandro Aguilar August 6, 2020 Duration: 1:12:26
today we're joined by TARA, singer for HALF PAST TWO. She stops by to embellish on HP2's extensive history, and also tells me about their newest EP, 'Something Blue'. Half Past Two is a ska group based out of the Orange County area of southern California, and they've been on a mass roll recently this year; as Tara jokes in the episode, we're getting new HP2 content biweekly! A huge thanks to the rest of the Half Past Two camp, I'm definitely looking forward to seeing this band play live.

Shout out to Rita Booh for the artwork!

Alejandro Aguilar hosts Ska Cast, a music podcast that digs into the vibrant and interconnected world where ska lives. It’s not just about the music itself, but the entire culture and community that fuels it. Each episode is built around conversations with the artists who shape this sound, from legendary figures to emerging voices. You’ll hear from musicians across reggae, punk, dancehall, and alternative scenes, reflecting the genre's diverse roots and its constant evolution. True to its bilingual spirit, these interviews flow naturally between English and Spanish, offering authentic insights directly from the creators. Tuning into this podcast feels like pulling up a chair in a lively backroom conversation, one that’s full of stories about touring, influences, and what keeps the scene alive. It’s for anyone who wants to go beyond the records and understand the people and the passion behind the beats.
