See ya 5/22 for a classic @dcxpc_live @poisonparadiserecords punk/ska banger with @thesnorts.band @o.rama.band and @the_idolizers 📸 @originalgoldenphotography

In case you haven’t noticed, SKAgazine fucking loves Girth Control. Eric was a huge fan of the band and of the dudes that became our friends along the way. Super rad of them to show some love for him right before playing their best song, What Got You Stoked in the First Place? . Hopefully someone else grabbed the music - I was off to do the circle thing for my brother. . Love you guys 🫶🏼. . #notjustmusic #thisisfamily #skamily #whatgotyoustoked

Thanks @thisisnotcroydonfest @brokengobletbrewing @fwshows and all the friends for one of our favorite nights ever. Hanging for more killer bands today! 🎥 @ronhasfun
