Writing new music is hard work, but we’re making good progress, we swear! About 90% of LP2 is written and we continue to practice in preparation for the studio. You will have NEW Write-Ups songs in 2026, when we all need it more than ever. #NewSka #SkaMusic #Ska #Funny #Outtakes

It’s killing me, I NEED to release these songs 😂 They’re very timely as to everything happening right now.

Turns out, scheduling studio time for a ska band is very difficult 🫠

Definitely could speak to all of this on first hand experiences.

Could certainly provide perspective! I even lived in Austin years ago and very much understand your venue capacity analogy, @bigbigtruck.com

…that a man responsible for destroying the lives of family members and other people they KNOW.

Nuance is important. We can walk and chew bubblegum at the same time.

If anyone outside the MAGA cult says they wouldn’t be relieved and at least hopeful for the future as a result, they’re lying to you.

I’m as anti-imperialist/Military Industrial complex as it gets, but I’ve done a lot of listening to my Venezuelan friends who are entitled to a moment of a joy…

He violently cracks down on dissent. People are disappeared. Concentration camps. Full-on final solution level Nazism. A NATO coalition swoops into D.C. abducts him and puts him on trial for his crimes.

It’s possible to be both anti-war/anti-U.S. imperialist AND recognize that Maduro is a violent dictator who murdered thousands of Venezuelans, stifled opposition, and destabilized Venezuela. These aren’t mutually exclusive positions to hold.

Let’s say Trump’s fascism continues to expand.

They. Do. Not. Care. About. Working. Class. People.

HO! HO! HO! 🎅🏻🎄It’s the last day to order from our merch store for your order to arrive by Christmas! Buy the ska lover in your life some rad merch from The Write-Ups!

Unfortunately, things have to get so much worse in America before it gets better and millions of people have to suffer as a result. I wish we had a real leftist party in this country 😒

The only good I can see coming out of Senate Dems completely caving and conceding without any gains is that ACA premiums doubling will create the political capital necessary for single-payer or a legitimate public option.

What’s up? Is there any big news happening today?

Oh weird, maybe someone shouldn’t have politicized the pandemic because their admin’s response was so horribly inadequate, thus weakening public understanding of a global pandemic and weakening overall social cohesion through one of the most significant global pandemics in over a century.

That raped children, you say?

*Issues Executive Order that restricts development for wind and solar, the quickest and most scaleable form of new generation, during a record demand for electricity*

Yeah, real intelligent 🙄

Holy shit. Designed/drew the greatest merch design of my life and I can’t wait to share it with everyone once they’re printed. Some friends have seen it already but I haven’t shared it publicly yet. It’s hilarious and fun.

Now for the U.S. leg of our summer tour! TONIGHT, our first time in MILWAUKEE at High Dove with Something to Do and Local Legends! TOMORROW, Chicago at Burlington Bar with Caitlin Edwards and more.

We had the best damn time with The Filthy Radicals in Canada! This buncha’ rascals are the best folks and we can’t wait to play with them again. Cheers to all the folks who came out and supported the shows! DIY music only survives if we support each other. We love Canada and can’t wait to come back!

@katiestanley.bsky.social hey friend! I have a spot on a show coming up that you’d be a great fit for… any interest? Text me!

8) Life is beyond cool. Stoked on everything (except America collapsing in real-time). Music is what makes any of it tolerable.

7) In July/August I’m on the road again in Europe with MakeWar for a bunch of rad shows including Graz Rock in Belgium and Punk Rock Holiday in Slovenia. October, I’ll be with MakeWar again on the Common Thread tour, with Hot Water Music, Spanish Love Songs, Comeback Kid, Strike Anywhere, and more.

6) June, I’m hitting @camppunksylvania.bsky.social with MakeWar. Trying to line up more bands to shoot for social reels, etc.

5) Today, we announced that @thewriteups.bsky.social are touring the Midwest with @mustardplug.bsky.social, the Planet Smashers, and @thekilograms.bsky.social in September. Stoked to play some bigger rooms in places we’ve played before, and this will be our first show in Cleveland! I love Grog Shop!

4) Next week, @thewriteups.bsky.social are playing the @punkrocksaveslives.bsky.social benefit after-party at @punkrockbowling.bsky.social with @buckonine.bsky.social, @halfpasttwoska.bsky.social, and more. So stoked for this show. This will be our first time
playing a show west of the Mississippi.

3) I’m selling merch for American Steel on Friday at Pouzza. Also shooting a bunch of videos for bands & working some shifts at the Stomp Records table. Grateful to make a small life out of touring with bands. Montreal is one of the best cities in America. Can’t wait to see so many buds at Pouzza!

2) I’m now spending a few off-days in the woods of Quebec, at our friend’s family cottage. It’s beautiful beyond words.

Okay, I’m really bad at sharing stuff on Blue Sky that I share on other platforms so I’ve got some fun stuff to share.

1) Tour with Planet Smashers was incredibly rad, on all fronts.
