Geeky SKAturday: Bad Leavers' "Another Time"

A pleasant Geeky SKAturday to everyone!  (Well...it's barely Sunday here...but pleasantness to all nonetheless!)  Just a quick one today (if I'm actually capable of that ;).  As a reminder, 2025's Geeky SKAturdays are set to include: (1) a ska (or closely related) song that's new this year, and (2) something ideally related to the song that contributes to a growing RPG setting in which ska musicians and their friends travel through time to protect the integrity of human history and prevent catastrophes.  Yep.

So today we have the song "Another Time" by the band Bad Leavers (the Bad Leavers? not sure...).  I'm excited about finding this band as they're from my home state of Georgia!  It warms my heart to know that there's still new ska being created and enjoyed down in Atlanta.  They have a sound that's very familiar but also not exactly like anything else I know of.  The lead vocals have a definite punk influence (I hear echoes of Tim Armstrong, and maybe even Shane MacGowan), but there's an interesting counter in how nicely he harmonizes with the other voice (voices?) in the band.  Overall, there's a bit of a 2 Tone feel that I really dig.  Reminds me of Johnny Too Bad & the Strikeouts, if that means anything to anyone reading...!

Anyway, their EP Give and Take just dropped a couple of days ago and is very much worth checking out.  Here's "Another Time":

Maybe it's obvious, but besides just liking this song, I picked it because of how nicely a song called "Another Time" fits in with a time travel setting.  So, on that...

How is time travel achieved by the Agents of SKA?  Portals?  Magic?  Terminator-style naked-within-a-sphere time jumps?

I'm really leaning toward fairly a fairly classic time machine trope here.  But of course I want to tie in the ska theme.  So, how cool would it be to have a time machine that looks something like this...?

I don't know that they were all this mobile, but sound systems played a huge role in early ska.  Pic from (and more information found) here.

And of course, a smaller model, built for just one or two travelers, might look something like...

Sticker available here (no connection between me and the seller, but I'll happily testify that she has a bunch of cool items in her store!)

And heck, if I really want to go nuts with Japanese themes when it comes to the first agent, Haruto, I guess I could have the vehicles occasionally capable of transforming into robots...or combining into a giant robot.

I don't want to run the risk of someone thinking this setting is silly, though... ;)
