Sad Ska & Breaking Down Mental Health Stigmas: Horizon Point Interview

What happens when you mix emo music and ska music together? Well, you get something that you probably haven't heard yet but know that your interest has been peaked. However, would you be surprised if we told you the ska community hasn't embraced them becasue they aren't "ska enough?"

Well we want to get you into this "sad ska" band that not only is blending emo music so well with the upbeat sounds of ska, but showing even more by expanding their sound, and their message to destigmatize mental health.

The band Horizon Point is here on the podcast today. We get you a fresh look into the band as we talk about:

- How they became a band and how their eclectic tastes in music as a group has created a combined sound of emo and ska called "sad ska" that for some reason, ska gatekeepers are keeping down.

- Their latest single, Bend The Truth, and why they focus their musical message on breaking down mental health stigmas all across the board.

- What to expect sonically on their upcoming EP and how their sound is evolving further on that release.
