The track serves as a powerful anthem for those who feel the sting of having missed punk rock’s golden era firsthand. With sharp lyrics and nods to genre-defining classics, “Born 2 Late” offers a layered experience that resonates with longtime punk fans and new listeners alike. “Born 2 Late” is our love letter to punk rock. It’s about growing up idolizing bands we never got to see in their prime – only on reunion tours, not in sweaty basement shows. The song is packed with references to punk classics, a nod to the legends that shaped us. But more than that, it’s a reminder: you’re never too late, and never too old, for punk rock.”– Max Schlegel, Vocals in Skeetch About Sunny Side of Shitty Town Skeetch Makes Their Punkerton Records Debut with Sunny Side of Shitty Town. Finding the bright side in the mess with punk rock anthems for the lost and loud. Skeetch’s Sunny Side of Shitty Town is an eleven track rollercoaster through punk rock nostalgia, rebellion, and self-discovery. From anthems of generational disconnect like “Born 2 Late” to biting social commentary in “Hello Mr. Officer,” and raw reflections on identity in “Spicy Memories,” the album blends high energy riffs, shout along hooks, and razor sharp wit showing that even in a shitty town there is a sunny side.
