Mad Caddies rocksteady punk covers album

Posted by Loren on April 30, 2018

Mad Caddies have finished work a new themed album titled Punk Rocksteady.

The album is a pet project of Fat Mike (NOFX, Fat Wreck Chords), hellbent on a mission to hear classic punk songs reconstituted in reggae form. The album is fully Mad Caddies, though with Fat Mike's participation as "the record’s producer, as well as its spiritual guide."

"She," originally by Green Day, is streaming here:

Punk Rocksteady will be released on June 15. The band will be touring the US and Europe this summer as well.
