The boy’s best work yet. Impeccable hooks (that will NOT leave your head), tasty licks, beautiful harmonies, and high energy ska galore. Really blown away by how they leveled up every aspect of their band!

So excited to ride the Hand You’ve Been Dealt hype train across the east coast this month 🚌🎊

Joker's Republic only puts out great albums, and they decided to keep that trend going here. If you're looking for a great modern ska punk band, this is who you've been looking for. Early favorites: Panic! Panic! Panic!, Dead Inside, and No Safe Harbor is gonna be on repeat for a while.

I'm super excited about the new @jokersrepublic.bsky.social album coming out today, on @punkertonrecords.bsky.social, and it's also Halloween season so I drew this up (kind of inspired by their video for Dead Inside).
