It's SKAUGUST! We kick off our yearly tradition with Justin's pick from the year 1988. This was a very bad year for ska, hence why we are talking about Ranking Roger's debut solo album, Radical Departure (a record that can barely be called ska.)

This week we are checking a big one off of our list. Justin was given the year 1991, and selected The Pillars of Humanity. This was the final album for Fresno, CA based crossover thrash band, The Crucified. This record is often sited as one of the most important Christian hardcore / metal bands of all time, but how does it stand up to our taste today.

This week Dylan is going back to the Baltimore hardcore well for the year 2007. We are talking about the debut full length, Prepare to Be Let Down by Ruiner.
