After losing my Brother in a really bad way followed by my Dad passing away I hit a really dark place in my life. Your music has done so much to help me get back on track especially knowing how you have dealt with tough stuff that has been thrown your way. Thanks for your music. Cheers Nev P
You have helped me understand that I’m not alone I’m not the only person dealing with shit in my life there is no easy way out when I feel depressed and there is another tomorrow. Tank you both
Excellent video guys. Anything that promote understanding of depression and how to deal with itis always always helpful . Thank God music helps you because that means that we will get to hear more. More inspiration from the Skameisters.
Sadly, Our Generation .. and the next one.. (yours) HAS happily opened up.. almost at the same time that the LADETTES became a horrible thing in the late 1990's.. Blokes.. became Real Men by becoming REAL ./?!? Sadly this Millenium new crew ( I use the phrase with bile in my throat) are ironically the most heinous of evil .. unempathetic bullying shits I have seen since the Late 1970's... they are told they are Social Justice Warriors and Woke (a joke phrase as I remember it) Politically Left On.. but they are everything BUT.. I haven't felt so lonely and sad and scared for decades.. I left School and worked through society.. now suddenly there is a legion of Sickly packs of horrible self obsessed hyenas just waiting to pick off the old Semi Alpha Males.. as soon as they can.. Sadly they do this .. but don't have a clue how to replace the Men that they destroy.. The future looks frightening to me.... I HOPE that a scene like SKA or ANYTHING can bring these new upcoming children into decent human beings that will build Hope, Unity and Respect.. ( I truly believe we hit the nail on the head in the middle 1990's.. I wore my bigger brothers old Fred Perry to a RAVE .. because I had nothing else to wear as I was a leather clad spikey Goth Punk item.. but.. the reaction the ONE shirt from the early 1980's got.. showed me HOW MUCH that scene had meant before and how much it would mean in the future! and here we are! 2 TONE .. SKA/. HAPPY NESS ... Enjoy Yourself .. Enjoy Yourself.. it's later than you think,,!]
Well said lads, Thank you for sharing and inspiring us all, it's more than a Christmas song, your more than a great ska band, keep up the great work please
Well done Talking about these Issues and I Believe that this is the Time when Men Especially have become Aware of the High Levels of Male Suicide and the need to be Deal with it .
A lot older than you 2 lads but can absolutely relate to all you've spoken about. Total respect to you both. Keep believing in yourselves but more importantly keep on making the great music you do, I for one love it! 👍
I’ve just seen you at skamouth and will see you in Chelmsford in July but this video was both brilliant and scary basically as men we need to talk bless you both
Inspiring video, and respect for being able to talk about mental health and the issues you have faced. Struggling from time to time myself, but like you, music is a great way to heal. Don't play any instruments myself, but I feel that now is the time. Thank you.,
I just watched a linked video and found a comment that I sent out over a year ago.. and noticed that NOBODY read .. liked or replied to it? What do they REALLY MEAN? the last Band I was in sacked me because they couldn't play a song properly and decided to blame me because I couldn't affor to pay their over the top subs for this poncey studio they didn't need! I scratched up all of my beer and petrol money and spent it to rehearse with this no happening band that begged me to play bass in their gigs that they could not fulfill.. then they dumped me when the old bassist decided he needed the gig money!
I can relate to all you said lads ur not alone .Theres (milions like us) as song goes (purple hearts).remember aving quick chat with you olly block33 nite m8 always here for you just get in touch etc that probaby goes for all the dog.p fans stay safe believe . Keep the faith ✊ no surrender.
