BOTHERED / UNBOTHERED [LP] (DOUBLEMINT GREEN VINYL, LIMITED)

THE DEBUT SOLO LP FROM JEREMY HUNTER AKA SKATUNE NETWORK?ON LIMITED EDITION DOUBLEMINT GREEN VINYL??After amassing an enormous following via their popular YouTube page and as the trombone player?for WE ARE THE UNION, Jeremy Hunter is finally releasing their debut LP of original material... and it's no?surprise that it's a veritable ska masterclass. Not only does it blend traditional ska, two-tone, and?3rd wave ska punk, it pushes the genre into 'NEW TONE' ska territory with experimental synths, samples,?and the blending of emo, hip hop, and trap. The album is also fifiercely political and progressive,?drawing on Jeremy's perspective as a non-binary POC to decry systematic cultural and societal injustices.?But with the message firmly in hand, JER also leaves plenty of room for the absolute joy that great ska punk can bring...?and there are certainly plenty of moments of joy on this record.?Ska's brightest, youngest voice is Jeremy Hunter; a fantastic musician who's single-handedly been?doing a lot of the heavy lifting as far as introducing ska to new audiences goes.?ANDREW SACHER, BROOKLYN VEGAN?When Jeremy from Skatune Network started doing their thing, I was like 'oh this is cool! especially?a person of color. Ska had gotten so white-washed, and it's exciting just to see any kind of?diversity in this music, which is not from the United States [laughs].'?MIKE PARK, ASIAN MAN RECORDS??SIDEA.?1.BOTHERED?2.YouGotYr-----CardRevoked!?3.CLOUTCHASERS!?4.COLDTRUTH?5.DECOLONIZEYRMIND?SIDEB:?6.GARDENOFUNDERSTANDING?7.MAYBE...?8.YOUCANGETITIFYOUREALLYWANT?9.NOBODYCANDULLMYSPARKLE?10.UNBOTHERED
