Joker's Republic BOOKING Providence Music Group Christian Blaney christian@providencemusicgrp.com Book Now! BIO They’re called the “Elected Representatives of the Joker’s Republic” (or at least that’s what Austen’s mom calls them), but what that really stands for is this New Jersey band’s commitment to represent Ska Punk with high-energy performances that have earned them a place at the BIG kid’s table. The year 2025 saw the release of the band’s THIRD FULL LENGTH ALBUM “The Hand You’ve Been Dealt” on Punkerton Records (produced by Roger Lima from Less Than Jake/ Rehasher and mixed/mastered by Grammy-Nominated engineer Eric Taft.) Joker’s Republic has quickly become a well-known commodity in the Ska Punk world, solidifying that reputation with notable appearances at festivals such as Supernova International Ska Festival, FEST, This Is Not Croydon Fest, and Wake And Bake with Less Than Jake (as well as opening for several major bands such as Save Ferris and Goldfinger!) Now on the horizon of the ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of The Hand You’ve Been Dealt (and with a new cover EP produced by Pete Steinkopf of The Bouncing Souls releasing) the band plans to continue touring and to finally answer the greatest questions of our time: “Who are we?” “Why are we here?” and “Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?” The Music of Joker’s Republic feels familiar to fans of Ska-Punk but also brings new (and sometimes questionable) musical ideas to the genre. The band feels that their brand of Ska Punk works best as a power trio, which enables them to have greater crossover appeal while still remaining true to their roots...plus, it’s a lot easier to remember the names of the band members without a horn section. While Joker’s Republic refuses to acknowledge the existence of “Fourth Wave Ska”, they and their fans (who they lovingly refer to as “Citizens of the Joker’s Republic”) are united by one universal message: “One nation under Ska, and together we will save rock and roll!”
