<p>The best laugh in David Leitch’s new action-comedy, How to Rob a Bank, comes in the first minute of the movie. I don’t mean the narrative, by the way – I mean the full start-to-finish film, from zeros on the time code all the way to the end of its two-hour and two-minute runtime. Instead of just running with the MGM label, the powers in Seattle decided it was a great idea to put the Amazon production logo right in […]</p>

Today, we are psyched to debut the new track by Eighth Ball! Eighth Ball is a new ragge-ska-punk band from Orange county. They just signed to Jakob Nowell's SVN/BVRNT label and the follow the legacy. The band locks hardcore punk into Op Ivy style ska and then also drop into some Dub lumbering. It's kicks. Their new single "Cocos" keeps the punk at the top before they drop into a dancehall riddim. Speaking to Punknews, guitarist Carter McCall says “This song came together right after our first trip to Mammoth to play the Wave Rave Skate Contest afterparty with Spliffriff at Liberty Sports Bar. Roman had this guy we know drive him up separately from the rest of us because he wanted to go to Lake Tahoe the day before. The day of the show, the guy lost his cool trying to find his phone in his truck while driving up the 395 and threw all of Roman’s drums on the side of the highway.” Singer Gabriel Pederson adds, "He was a narcissistic prick to kindly say the least but his ego clearly demonstrated how someone could be held back in life from experiencing actual self awareness, being present and connecting with those around you. I wrote it for those who just don't understand and cant see their self absorption feeds their false identity and it's all societal conditioning.” Label Head Honcho Jakob Nowell also says, "Eighth Ball fucking rules. Enough said. We love them. The reason why we wanted to work with Eighth Ball goes back to a show that we played in Orange County. They opened up for us. It was really rad. And to me, they seem like a band that was (is) about as close to SUBLIME, while still being innovative, of any new band I have ever seen, ever. It’s really refreshing to see the sounds like that, that my father had a huge part in, were still inspiring the youth today. So, we became homies. We kept playing, but it was only when we passed them off to our producer, Jon Joseph, who does all the Jakob’s Castle stuff, the most recent Strange Case record, the most recent Sublime record. He told us, “You guys would be crazy not to sign these dudes. You’d be crazy not to work with them or help them out a little bit further.”So, no matter what happens into the future, we want to see these boys rock, and we want to see their music go as far as it can, as many years as it can, because that’s Southern California, man." You can hear the new tune below, right now!
