Left Alone (EP.282)
Thursday, 19 February, 2026

This week James White (Jimmy Jam) from Left Alone joins us. First, we discuss nicknames and favorite baselines in ska/ska punk. James tells us about getting in to playing bass and joining Left Alone. We talk about the band’s latest record, True To Form and we listen to their song Some Days. We also discuss how being from Los Angeles impacts the band’s sound and James’ work as a tattoo artist. All this and of course Ska News and our Ska Picks of the Week.
