Pick It Up! Mustard Plug Announces 2021 Tour
Is this 1991 or 2021? Mustard Plug was a favorite at Club Soda back in the day and the Grand Rapids ska band has just revealed plans for a 2021 tour.
Don t call it a comeback- these guys never really quit. The Grand Rapids-based ska band Mustard Plug brought the horn section, the energy and the attitude to all the best clubs back in the day: Club Soda and the Strutt in Kalamazoo, the Intersection (when it was in Eastown, not downtown Grand Rapids), the illustrious Mac s Bar in East Lansing, Ann Arbor s renowned Blind Pig, and the immortal Detroit clubs St. Andrew s Hall and the Magic Stick.

If ska needed a revival, no one told We Are the Union. While there s been plenty of chatter about a new wave of ska, these L.A. punks have been going strong for most of the last 15 years, persisting through the genre s dark age. Now, that dedication looks poised to pay off in a big way with their fifth and best album.
Ordinary Life is a fun-sounding yet intensely sincere record that s filled with heart and purpose. Not long before the album s release, singer Reade Wolcott came out as a trans woman, and her struggles with gender dysphoria and self-discovery are a propulsive force behind this music. With a potent mix of mid- 90s ska-punk and early-2000s pop-punk, We Are the Union have delivered 11 sharply written and highly gratifying songs about being who you are.
