So stoked to be a part of the Slakers’ five boro tour! As many of you know we’ve worked really hard over the last five years to create a ska scene on Staten Island the fact that the slackers are playing there it’s Staten Island shows some this hard work paid off.
Get your tickets now because it’s a small venue!!

Newest single dropping July 12th!! Gonna be an old school style A/B, “Nothing in Return” and “Trippin.” The first is about always giving your whole self to people in all kinds of situations, but feeling like it’s constantly a one way street. These people never refill the cup you emptied for them.
The second is about how so many of us have gotten trapped in a made up world run by social media algorithms where we’ve in many ways seemed to lose some of our humanity and care for others. Where work blends with home because we’re always connected by devices. How sometimes there feels like no escape.
We’re really excited to share these with you as it’s been a minute since our last real drop. If you can join us on July 12th, everyone will get a free download of the singles and some swag to boot. It’ll be a great time.
