Joker's Republic - Just Don't

from THIS IS JERSEY, NOT CA by V/A

about

They’re called the “Elected Representatives of the Joker’s Republic” (or at least that’s what Austen’s mom calls them), but what that really stands for is this Northern New Jersey band’s commitment to represent Ska-Punk with high-energy performances that have earned them a place at the BIG kid’s table. The year 2018 saw the band’s first tour, along with recognition from popular social media outlets such as What Do You Know About Ska Punk? and several appearances on both national and international radio programs and compilation albums. Coming into 2019, Joker’s Republic will be releasing their first full-length album with plans to continue touring and to finally answer the greatest questions of our time: “Who are we?” “Why are we here?” and “Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?” The Music of Joker’s Republic feels familiar to fans of Ska-Punk but also brings new (and sometimes questionable) musical ideas to the genre. The band feels that their brand of Ska-Punk works best as a power trio, which enables them to have greater crossover appeal while still remaining true to their roots...plus, it’s a lot easier to remember the names of the band members without a horn section. While Joker’s Republic refuses to acknowledge the existence of “Brass Rock”, they and their fans (who they lovingly refer to as “Citizens of the Joker’s Republic”) are united by one universal message: “One nation under Ska, and together we will save rock and roll!”
