J. Navarro & The Traitors, the new ska band featuring Jay Navarro of Suicide Machines, Break Anchor, Hellmouth, have released a new music video for their song “Fancy Things.”
You can check it out below.
“Fancy Things” comes from the bands’ latest EP, Short Changed Future, which was released in March 2017.
A year ago, Jay Navarro (Suicide Machines, Break Anchor, Hellmouth) and Eric Abbey (1592, Abbsinthe) came together to write some ska and reggae tunes. After a short while the two had a bunch of songs and decided that it would be a great idea to put together a band. They did and with Arubis as the third vocalist it all began. Ken Hass (Reverend Guitars), Jason Millbauer ( Bad Assets), Scott Vesey (Trace the Veins) and Steve Kachanowski (Telegraph) joined up and the Traitors were born.
A couple jams later and the band went into Mount Doom studio to record this debut. Asbestos Records will be putting out the full 9 tracks that have been by Agent Jay ( Slackers, Crazy Baldhead). Enjoy the first listen of tracks “Deeper” and “Water” below.
Stay Tuned for the full-length “Criminals and Lions” out of Asbestos Records soon.

So technically this is a little bit more of a "re-introducing" spotlight piece as Belgium's Chump actually got their start around 2001. They kicked around the scene for a bit until 2005 then disappeared. Until now. Pulling influences from exactly where you'd expect a European punk act from 2001 to pull from, Chump isn't reinventing the wheel when it comes to melodic skate punk, but they are churning it out with passion and talent, doing the sub-genre serious justice. Give their new EP "Welcome To The Punk Rock Family" here - it's got one of the best instrumental, intro tracks I've heard this year.
