Skappository

Our first show in almost a year! We’ll be invading @eldoradobar_troy in Troy, NY with our friends @the_agonizers @modernnativesband and @vintrihill_official on Friday, July 10th! This will be the first official show with our new lineup, and we can’t wait to get out there again! Big thanks to Scott @dcxpc_live for putting this all together. It’s only fitting he does our first show back, as he was the man responsible for trusting us with his hard earned bux to put out a quality live record a few years back. Make sure you check out his label @dcxpc_live and pick up some vinyl!

We are beyond stoked to introduce to you the newest member of the band, Matt Costanza! @mart_costan_ska will be taking over the bass duties for Skappository and he’s no slouch. This guy has the grooves necessary for our line of work, and he sprinkles on his own bit of flavor with a serious penchant for hip gyration and pelvic thrusts into the back of his instrument while playing. It’s a sight to behold. Matt also plays in the bands @thegoingrate and @thebandexskalibur , so make sure you check them out and give them a follow if you haven’t already. We’ve started booking dates for the summer, so you’ll be able to catch us with him then. We’ll be starting to announce those pretty soon. Oh yeah, and Cody @codyfillips is back as our drummer. He never actually left. So there’s that. #DREAMTEAM And don’t forget to listen to our latest EP, “Falling Out”, right now! Available on our Bandcamp (LINK IN BIO) or streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon and all major streaming platforms.

NEW EP DROPS THIS FRIDAY!!! We're super stoked (Tony especially) that our 4-song EP, "Falling Out", will be released this Friday, May 1st on all major streamers. And we're even more stoked that our friends in @djangios , @joysticknola and @thedoomstompers are featured as guests on 3 out of the 4 tracks! Here's the track listing: "FALLING OUT" 1. Preoccupied feat. @djangios 2. Theme Song feat. @joysticknola 3. Here We Go Again feat Vinny C. of @thedoomstompers (Op Ivy Cover) 4. 247/365 Set your alarms, put it in your calendars, syncronize your sun dials...just remember to listen when it drops!

Life was too busy last week to update the playlist, but we’re back today with another set of 20 dope tunes! Please listen, like and share! Most of all check out the band’s other stuff, buy their merch and go to their shows!

WE'VE GOT THE NEW 'ISH FOR YA! Friday, May 1st will be the birthing day for our next studio release, a 4-song EP entitled "Falling Out". This recording has been a LONG time coming, so we're happy to finally get this puppy out and excited to reveal the cover art and track listing for it. It features the talents of some people we love like THE ska royalty King Django @djangios , the smooth and sexy New Orleans crew known as @joysticknola , and our homegrown homie from @thedoomstompers , Vinny Carriero @sydfillups ! And of course we don't want to forget the backup vox chops of our friends in @gonestereo , @halfdizzyband and @takewarningli . Hopefully you've checked out the single, "Preoccupied feat. King Django" either on our bandcamp or available now on all major streaming platforms. Track Listing: 1. Preoccupied feat. King Django 2. Theme Song feat. Joystick! 3. Here We Go Again feat. Vinny Carriero (Operation Ivy cover) 4. 267/365 Mixed & Mastered by Craig Livingston & Jess DeBellis @jedkeys88 Make sure to mark your calendars for May 1st, which happens to also be Bandcamp Friday! That means that Bandcamp doesn't take any cut from our downloads when you buy our music there, but only on that day. Then, after that, they stick their grimy pilfering hands back in our pockets and we have to go back to boiling our shoe leather for dinner. Let them eat cake! Sure, why not? <end rant> Spread the word and check out our music on all platforms that we provide it on. We may get a fraction of a cent just because you care. <ok really, end rant>

Our new Single “Preoccupied” off of our upcoming 4 song EP “Falling Out” featuring the lyrical stylings and lush harmonies of the one and only King Django is now live on Spotify (soon to be followed by all other major streaming services) as well as Band Camp. It’s a rowdy tug-of-war between ska and punk for the extra rude rude boys and girls (think @sublime vibes)

Our new single is live on Bandcamp! “Preoccupied“ featuring King Django @djangios has been birthed unto this world! LINK IN BIO It’s the first single off of our next release, a four-song EP entitled “Falling Out“, which will drop on May 2. We will be revealing the cover art in the coming weeks, as well as some more big news! The single is only available on Bandcamp right now, but we are working to get it on the streamers after a last minute snafu held up the process. Will let you know as soon as it’s up in places like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. In the meantime, we hope you dig our new tune, and please give it up for the main man King Django, who did a phenomenal job on his guest vocals!

SKAPPOSITORY! IS! BACK! We are psyched to finally have some news for ya’ll to munch on. This Friday, March 27, we’ll be releasing a single entitled, “Preoccupied” on our Bandcamp and all the thieving streamers out there. If you’ve been to any of our live shows in the last few years, you most likely have heard us play this song. However, you have not heard our studio version featuring one of our most favorite people and a longtime musical influence…the man, the myth, the incomparable powerhouse known as KING DJANGO @djangios !!!! His work over the last 40 years more than speaks for itself, and the verses on this track continue that trend of solid output and musical integrity. We’re extremely honored that he would put his mark on our seemingly inconsequential track, and we can’t wait for you to hear this jam. Keep your eyes and ears open this Friday, and in the coming weeks for more big news on a few different fronts.

Tonight! Check out @radiowaterloo at 10pm EST to hear Long Island take over the Canadian inter-waves! Big ups to Steve of @steveandthenotsteves for including us in his DJ set, along with tons of our friends and cohorts from the isle where dreams are made (and easily crushed if you let them). #TUNE IN!!!

Look ma! Top of the world! Thanks so much to Dane of @skapunkotherjunk on @beardedgmusic for including our EP “For Your Health!” on his 25 best albums of 2025! We are also in some really great company alongside our friends in @halfdizzyband , @jokersrepublic , @thepandemics and @thebestoftheworstnj , who all made the list as well!

(Full story in panels above) We’re pretty sure this post has been a long time coming, and maybe some of you were wondering “what the hell is going with those dudes?” Well, we have an answer finally. We need to find a new drummer and bassist.  Replacing members is one of the hardest things to do when you’re in any musical group, and though we have lots of friends in music, it’s a delicate balancing act trying to get the right people for what we do. We are a busy band, and we want to be a priority to whoever becomes part of our family. That means: 1. Live in a pretty close proximity to Nassau County, NY. 2. Be willing to practice at least once a week. 3. Be willing to play both local and out-of-state shows. 4. Have your own transportation (meaning an automobile, not a bike). 5. Listen to a lot of ska, punk, reggae and just know about the groove. 6. Be very proficient with your instrument. And if you also sing, that’s a plus! 7. Don’t be a dick. At all. Ever. If you think this sounds like yourself or someone you know, please send us a message with a little bit of info and a really great audio and/or video clip of your skills. We’ll be setting up in-person auditions pretty soon, so send us what you have on our socials or email us at [email protected]. We look forward to hearing some awesome stuff!
