WORKIN' & SKANKIN'

In late July 2025 we released STAY YOUNG STAY PUNK, and it took off.
It quickly became FSD signature song, making crowds dance all over Japan.
Even so, the grown-ups in the Japanese music industry still have not really noticed us yet we have only landed one outdoor festival so far.
But we kept cranking it up in live houses, shouting The ska-punk wave is coming!, and somehow these two songs actually ended up calling that wave in for real.
We believe next year is going to be FSD year, so we are running full speed ahead.
A lot has happened to the members in these five months.
Our drummer Tabaken drank too much, missed a show, and managed to get on the bad side of some long-time fans.
Hora, after years of chopping away at guitar, has finally evolved into a legendary ska-punk guitarist.
Gorilla, for once, has not picked a fight with anyone and is living the peaceful life.
And Montero has listened to so much ska-punk that he's basically become the God of Ska.
No ballads here just South American flavored ska and pure momentum packed into this two-track single.
This is who FIVE STATE DRIVE are right now: WORKIN & SKANKIN
