Episode description

ACAB... and that includes Sting and the other two guys! On this episode of Checkered Past, Joey and Rob dig in on the ska/reggae sounds of New Wave darlings The Police! They run through the bands brief 7 year, 5 album history from their very punk rock beginnings to their world beat explorations to finally their sophisti-pop blockbusters. All the while trying to determine just how Ska and Reggae they truly are!
