Just your average, anti-establishment, old-ass ska band. Skankin' up the nation (Midwest mostly) since early '95! New music almost done mixing! www.facebook.com/thebishops.omaha https://open.spotify.com/artist/4r1wc4NzvriLPIXpS2EZwO?si=ppmh2R_1TRCqH1dBdsKH

Potentially good band name up for grabs, or, things overheard at Supernova #ska festival.

Prosthetic Mohawk

Ms. Maud gets the credit for that one, methinks.

:D. Oh, we're well aware how your main talents are deployed. The request for the pic was to envision the construction of the unusual sandwich!

The Bishops (US Ska) @thebishopsska.bsky.social · Aug 2

I think we're gonna need a picture of that bewitching sandwich.

Not really surprised by that. Conor would catch quite a bit of ska at the Cog Factory in the pre-Bright Eyes days.

So wonderful to see another edition of these great shorts! Will keep an eye out for the paperback to add to the collection!

This new LP features awesome artwork by Krees Borbon, drummer for The Aggrolites and The Capsouls. If the style looks a bit familiar, that's also because he also does the art for Supernova lately!
