THERE’S SO MANY PEOPLE
This song is about now, modern life, it’s about justice, and freedom, and equality. nothing has really changed in our modern world, we are all going backward. People should not have to suffer in this day and age, they should have basic living rights, to live in their own country, to have a home, hot and cold water, fair pay, good housing, people should be able to support their selves and their families. Build a good community. For themselves, to live of their land and to just be civilised human beings. Who want to better themselves, to evolve to make a better world for all. more

Sotah
From the (broken) heart of New Hampshire comes “Sotah”, an emotional ska-punk anthem that explores the clarity one discovers after losing someone that was once held dear. With a blend of upbeat two-tone rhythms, heart-wrenching lyrics, and a gritty punk edge, this song will cut through to anyone who has ever experienced heartbreak. This is not just another silly ska song, this is the beginning of a new ska-punk revolution - one with heart, emotion, and the power to break the mainstream. more
