Bad Copy

Sometimes, the band says it all better than we can. Here’s what Buffalo-based band Skyway has to say:

“Like so many Americans, we emerged from the 2024 presidential election baffled, anxious, saddened, and angry. And, like so many Americans, we knew that we couldn’t keep quiet about any of that. We’ve seen what four years of a Donald Trump presidency looks like and now we’re about to enter another four years of daily distractions, outrage, injustice, and manipulation.

“We walked into our practice space at 9pm on Thursday, November 7th – less than 48 hours after votes were cast – desperate for a release; and five hours later, we had written, arranged, recorded, and filmed ‘Uncomfortably Numb.’

“‘Uncomfortably Numb’ is our in-the-moment attempt to channel all of that uncertainty and angst into a punk anthem. We had to do it for ourselves, and we hope that someone out there can benefit from the cathartic release of singing along with us. It’s not perfect, and it doesn’t delve into any of the complexities that will come to a head in the coming months and years. But it captures a moment in time for us, and it gave us a chance to scream and yell and flail together.”
