Punknews is excited to premiere the new EP from NYC folk/crust/ska/punk collective Comrades for you on this fine Christmas day. The eight song Matter of Fact EP is four parts electric, four parts acoustic folk, and 100% goodness.

Comrades formed in 2010 and is primarily based out of NYC, although a few core members now habitate outside of the city as far as eastern Pennsylvania. Their last release was a the three-way 420 Split with Breathe Dissent and Burnsgreen in 2015 on Dumpster Bread Records.

The band also helped found and still puts on the Folk the Park festival showcasing folk punk acts, as well as inviting along non-folk punk acts to re-work their songs in the folk punk-style. 2018 will will be the tenth Folk the Park, in Tompkins Square Park, NYC (more details on that event will be forthcoming on Punknews when available).

Until then, enjoy your holiday with the complete stream of Comrades' new EP, and be sure to pick up a copy with either a T-shirt or a patch if you're keen!
