Jeff Rosenstock - SKA DREAM (White Shell w/ Black Ink) - CASSETTES

SKA DREAM is a complete re-recording of Jeff Rosenstock's critically-acclaimed 2020 record NO DREAM however this time around all the songs are ska songs you're welcome. The very good idea to make this record came together when, like many other bands throughout this pandemic that refused to participate in super spreading events, we were trying to find a fun way to make some music together to share with people. Otherwise we were just spending our evenings texting the group chat in dread about the collapsing world around us. Not the most fun band activity.As with most things ska in my life, what started out as a fun goof with friends eventually morphed into InchHey, what if we tried to make it good though?Inch All of us have a pretty deep history playing and touring the country in punk/ska bands. We all understand the stigma that comes along with ska, we've all dealt with the pitfalls of it, and we've all kept on truckin' regardless. If you are one of those people who loves music as long as it isn't ska, that's cool, we see you. This record isn't for you and you don't have to listen to it. Byeeee.Okay, everyone else, we see you too, we love you and check it out, SKA DREAM is real. Album Tracks 1. No Time to Skank 2. Airwalks (Alt) 3. Skram! 4. S K a D R E a M 5. Horn Line 6.

Rhodamine Red w/ White Ink. NO DREAM is the fourth full-length from Jeff Rosenstock. It comes at a time of unparalleled chaos and confusion, division and despair, the depths of which would have been impossible to predict when much of it was being written over the course of the last few years. And yet the record feels prescient, unexpectedly and uniquely suited for this moment.After building a devoted cult following with the acerbic ska-punk of the Arrogant Sons of Bi**hes, the DIY heroics of Bomb the Music Industry!, and three increasingly celebrated solo albums, NO DREAM arrives with an entirely new set of expectations in an entirely new era.InchYou can't help it. You can't stop it. You see these atrocities and want it to end. But it's not going to stop, and when that feeling sets in it's a full-on panic freak-out.Inch It may not be a hopeful message, but it's one that ties together the sense of impending doom and gives it direction, voicing a rage that many struggle to articulate.InchWhat's the point of feeling this way? Does it help to vocalize it?Inch Rosenstock's rhetorical question is answered by NO DREAM, an accidentally universal record for a damaged, difficult time. Details 1. No Time 2. Nikes (Alt) 3.
