about

So, what IS Skemsco? It's our made-up word for Ska + Emo + Disco. When you're crazy enough to have 12 people in your band, you get influences from an exceedingly wide variety of genres.

Ultimately, the result of these influences is this dancey alt pop song with thick, colorful horn parts. The emotive lyrics explore coming to terms with shortcomings, and realizing that life is a lot better when you accept that you're not perfect. FFO: No Doubt, MisterWives, Against the Current

lyrics

VERSE 1
Baby I’m not feeling much of anything
I’m waiting for euphoria to hit me
I’m waiting for the come up, my philosophy
That pain just brings me closer to that fleeting feeling

CHORUS
I’m never gonna get it right
It’s never gonna be perfection
But when you cut me off, you can’t cut off the sweet obsession
I’ll meet you at the top
Forgiving is my secret weapon
And when I let this go
I finally found my misconnection

POST-CHORUS
Whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh
I think I’ll let this go
Whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh
I believe I can let this go

VERSE 2
We’re on the road again
But metaphorically
Cuz when I hit the brakes
The airbag suffocates me
But when I open my eyes
Back in the fast lane
And when I let this go
I finally taste the air again

BRIDGE
I can follow all your signs
Or I can go my own way
Staying here and doing this
I'm not about this useless wordplay
I can follow all your signs
Or I can go my own way
Staying here and doing this
I'm not about this useless wordplay

POST-CHORUS OUTRO
Whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh
I think I’ll let this go
Whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh
I believe I can let this go
Whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh
I think I’ll let this go
Whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh
I’ll get better when I let this go

about

Voluntary Hazing San Jose, California

Formed in San Jose, CA, Voluntary Hazing is a 12-piece ska and pop-punk band. We're marching band geeks that grew up being classically trained, but we began experimenting and decided to play some rock music with our horns.

THE BAND DOES NOT ADVOCATE HAZING. I REPEAT, WE DO NOT ADVOCATE HAZING. It's all voluntary. That's a fun story you'll definitely have to ask us about.
