Jersey boy, #thereigningmonarchs fan, and all around great guy Joey Lewandowski makes a custom sweater with @theeisenstein @jangelowarner @alexwoloschyn and Sweater at the Monarchs corporate HQ in the garage. It was his perk for supporting #blacksweatermassacre Sweater up!
The album is turning out darker than we thought… More surf punk than reggae ska at this point. Still skanky for sure but in a really spooky way. Sometimes life creeps into your intentions and messes with them in a great way. At that point you give up control and let the music take over.
