Ska Punk Act THE FULL PLEDGE MUNKEES Celebrate 25 Year Anniversary [Singapore]

By on December 16, 2024

Singaporean ska-punk outfit THE FULL PLEDGE MUNKEES have marked a major milestone in their illustrious 25-year career with the release of their latest album, XXV. A physical version, along with exclusive merchandise, will follow in 2025, offering fans even more to look forward to.

XXV: A Testament to Ska-Punk Evolution

The Full Pledge Munkees’ XXV represents a significant chapter in their musical journey, celebrating 25 years of ska-punk innovation. Created during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, the album channels the band’s experiences of anxiety, isolation, and uncertainty, while embodying resilience and hope. With Singapore on the verge of a lockdown, the band found creative strength in adversity, crafting an album that pushes boundaries while staying true to their ska-punk roots. Influenced by iconic third-wave ska-punk bands like Rancid and The Interrupters, XXV showcases both technical finesse and emotional depth.

Each track on XXV offers a unique reflection on life’s complexities, delivering a mix of introspective and high-energy anthems:

Better Off Dead: A powerful and energetic track tackling erratic behavior and the quest for stability, exploring self-awareness and personal struggles.

Find A Way: A song about mental clarity and resilience, focusing on overcoming negativity and navigating life’s challenges with optimism.

Rembat Pendapat: A spirited ska-punk anthem sung in Malay that celebrates the diversity of opinions and the value of open, non-judgmental discussions.

The Struggle: A defiant anthem against societal oppression, emphasizing resistance, justice, and the punk ethos.

Appreciate You: A heartfelt ballad expressing gratitude and the importance of companionship in overcoming loneliness.

Climb: An uplifting track about perseverance, urging listeners to rise above adversity and find their strength.

Beam Me Up: A whimsical, sci-fi-inspired song blending humor and curiosity about alien encounters, offering a reimagined version of an earlier track.

Like I Care (L.I.C.): A reflective piece encouraging individuals to live life at their own pace, prioritizing personal growth over societal pressures.

#Akskadub: A dub track that cleverly references the term “budak ska” (ska enthusiasts), offering a reflective moment while honoring the ska scene’s vibrant culture.

XXV is not just an album; it’s a testament to creativity born from adversity, blending upbeat tempos with raw punk energy. This collection is a heartfelt tribute to ska-punk, showcasing bold experimentation and technical mastery.
