Ska goes emo vol 1! Literally 1 copy left on the store
And greetings from ska shores! 15 copies remain!
@CounterIntuitiveRecords did this limited tape drop, and they flew! So if you missed it last week, hop on it!!!

THIS IS THE JER BAND
For almost a decade, l've been recording music on my own. Making covers through YouTube as skatune network has been (and still is) all me!
As I started to write my own music as JER, I still had a very solitary experience when recording, even with the personnel being multiple people
But for Death of the Heart, I hit the studio with people I love who have been helping me play these songs live for years now. Some of my favorite memories making music has been on stage with these people and in the studio.
Their excellence at their crafts really helped make these songs shine in ways I would've never felt.
So I wanted to take a moment to appreciate some of the best in the game. I'm blessed af to have this band helping bring my songs to life.
Death of the heart is streaming everywhere! Some viny! and CD copies are available still through @BadTimeRecords
grab yours while u can!

It’s finally out! My second full length record, DEATH OF THE HEART!!!
This record is super important to me, a lot of feelings on the state of the world, and processing them in a way where we don’t get consumed by the despair OR become products of the very system we are trying to dismantle. Lets take a spin on compassion before alienation, let yr heart grow 🖤🖤🖤
Big thank you to the studio JER band. We tracked this record (semi) live, with the rhythm section and saxophone recording live together. Then we tracked horns together, then dubbed a bunch over. The life that these songs have come from the talents of the studio JER band
JER on Vocals, Bass, Trombone, Additional Guitar, Additional Keys
Em on Tenor Sax, Bari Sax, Vocals
Esteban on Keys, Percussion, Additional Guitar
Ricky on Guitar
Woody on Drums
Additional musical performances by ThatDjVega (track 5), Linqua Franqa (Track 6), Adam D (Track 8), and Candice Maritato (Track 14)
The photography behind this record was by Rae Mystic, who has captured the energy and love of this band on the stage, in the studio, and many moments in between. The design of the record was by RB Roe, who did an incredible job capturing my vision for this record
And thank you to Jack Shirley, at the Atomic Garden for engineering this record, and Mike Sosinski at Bad Time Records for helping me share this record with the world. There’s so many other amazing people I can thank. Friends inspire me and motivate me. Many of y’all who show up for me, wether it’s at shows or in the comment section. Any amount of support for this thing I do is hella appreciated🖤🖤🖤
Nothing but love for the support. Thank you🖤
