If you have previously heard any music from this epic ska-punk band (legends I would say) you may be as pumped as I am to hear about this upcoming LP. It has been awhile for sure (five years since Do Your Art) and I had been wondering when we might be getting some new music. This single drops today and will be followed on June 12th with a full album release via SideOneDummy Records.
Musically this track lives up to its name twenty seconds in as a slow-paced, light and melodic intro turns abruptly on a nice sound explosion at that mark. All the energy, powerful beats and clever mix of instruments that have been trademarks of the band are present here in spades. I would even say they sound edgier and a little more pumped up than what they delivered on Do Your Art. This song is a great preview and I will be looking forward to when that full LP drops in June.
If you have some time and the inclination you can also check out the album that introduced me to this group back in 2011. For The Damned, The Dumb and the Delirious is an eighteen song set that is full of ska-powered fun, a little humor and much energy.

Just a few ideas if you have the time: purchase music when you can as streaming does not pay much even times a thousand, support and get to know your local community, live well and be a good neighbor 🙂
