Band-to-Band Interview: Omnigone and Half Past Two
Bad Time Records are the biggest thing to happen to ska in a long time. In the brief six years of the label’s existence, they’ve been consistently putting out the best ska records from We Are the Union’s Ordinary Life to Flying Raccoon Suit’s Moonflower to Catbite’s Nice One.
Two of their biggest success stories recently have come from “bubblegum ska” band Half Past Two with their new album Talk is Killing Me and straight-edge ska hardcore punk band Omnigone, a band formed by former members of Link 80, and their latest record Feral. Two bands that couldn’t be more different, Half Past Two and Omnigone are united by a label that explores every subgenre of ska.
Adam Davis of Omnigone and Tara Hahn of Half Past Two took a moment to sit down and interview each other, which made for a throughly interesting discussion about these two powerhouse bands of the New Tone ska movement.
