Stop the Presses (New York) - Originally formed in 2010 by Ali Culotta and Danny Portilla, Stop The Presses has come a long way since their early days. Based out of Brooklyn, NY, Stop the Presses deliver an incredible mix of traditional ska & reggae with pop hooks – new wave style and punk rock attitude with a splash of British 2-Tone.

The Bishops (Nebraska) - From their start in the mid '90s, the Bishops have always been about bringing their love for vintage ska and reggae to their friends and fans of those styles all across the Midwest. The recipient of several ‘World Music’ OEAs (Omaha Entertainment Awards), the group is a well-recognized force in the regional music scene. They have also played dozens of shows outside of the Midwest, spreading their music nationwide by touring to the East, West, and Gulf Coasts multiple times and participating in ska and reggae festivals across the country.

Futon Lasagna - Futon Lasagna is Punk SKA comfort food made with love since 2021. Hailing from Boston, this high-energy, female-fronted LGBTQ+ band blends the melodic vocals of pop punk with the infectious rhythms of punk ska—think Bouncing Souls meets Less Than Jake, but hold the horns. Their catchy, relatable songs are perfect for dancing your feelings out. What started as four friends jamming at parties quickly turned into a beloved act lighting up stages across New England.
