So when I started this in 2023, the person that I was kind of pitching the show to, they were like, well, what are like the three bands that would be like your ultimate interview ever? I said, Kill Lincoln, Bad Operation, and Jerr.
Austin YoungHOST

Lars GotrichPANELIST
I still don't like to listen to it, but in 2020, there was this record by a New Orleans band called Bad Operation that just caught me off guard.
Lars GotrichPANELIST
[upbeat music] Their sound kind of harkens back to more, like, The Specials, so, like, late '70s, early '80s, instead of, like, the '90s pop punk version of ska that I have a hard time with.
