Mustard Plug - "Fall Apart"

Photo by Mitch Ranger Photography 

Mustard Plug have been around for over thirty years now, which by default makes them ska punk legends. Luckily, the Grand Rapids, MI band is still making some fantastic music, too. Their new single, "Fall Apart," shows they aren't mellowing out any time soon. It's upbeat and melodic ska that is going to be impossible not to dance to. It's everything you want from the genre: A generous amount of horns, high energy, and just fun in its most absolute form. We know ska gets shit on quite a bit by most music snobs, but maybe a ska focused mid-life crisis isn't a bad thing.

You can watch the video for "Fall Apart" below. Where Did All My Friends Go? will be out September 8 on Bad Time Records, and is available for pre-order here. For more on Mustard Plug, check out the band on Facebook and Instagram. Upcoming tour dates are below the video.
