The opening night of Fistful of Ska features Call me Malcolm after last year’s blistering set we thought they were worthy of Friday headline slot. The always entertaining Broken 3 Ways and the return of local favourites The Platitudes. Razor-toothed, harmony infused, delicately ferocious ska. British 5-piece Call Me Malcolm exploded onto the Ska Punk scene in 2018 with a record described by ska legends Less Than Jake as “a saving grace of the genre.” Malcolm’s genre blending mastery and intricate songwriting has since crafted “some of the most special, unique, ambitious music in the punk underground.” (BrooklynVegan) landing them at #8 in Ska Punk Daily’s “Albums of the Decade” and #15 in Brooklyn Vegan’s “Best Punk Albums of 2020” with consecutive releases.
2024 saw the release of ‘Echoes and Ghosts’, a 10-track, melodic powerhouse about identity, self, and suicide. Songwriter-in-chief Lucias describes it as “a eulogy for the parts of myself I killed with medication, and a love letter to the silhouette I became.”
