    Recorded at the iconic Sing Sing Studios in the back streets of Richmond by Venezuelan American Marcel Fernandez and Australian producer Adam Rhodes, The Resignators have carefully crafted an album, their fourth studio album, with a combination of original tunes as well as two reworked covers, both iconic Australian tunes, and given the horn infused treatment as only The Resignators can.

Party Dates 02:14
Went down to Melbourne town My fortune for to find Met my mates for party dates I almost lost my mind Then I met a little gal Who came from the Emerald Isle My tongue was tied, my mouth went dry Captivated by her smile Ohhhh This one’s for my friends Ohhhh This one’s for my friends I guess you figured out by now This story has no end Now we’re down in Hepburn town. And eddie has a friend painted little birdies are hanging on the wall Living down in Hepburn town We’re waiting for the rain to fall Ohhhh This one’s for my friends Ohhhh This one’s for my friends Had to write another verse When Yoerik came along He’s the king of the armoured bears And now he’s in this song Wolfie’s got a brother now Eddie’s got two friends I guess you’ll have to call this song The song that never ends Ohhh The song that never ends Ohhh This one’s for my friends Ohhh The song that never ends Ohhh This one’s for my friends

You say you want to build a wall To keep them all away But every wall is bound to fall No matter what you say Make a map Draw a line Borders here and there To keep you in Keep us out You know it’s just not fair. Tear down the walls So when we want to saddle up Go out for a ride Take a trip To see our friends Who live on the other side You stop us at the border And say we can’t go in But in the end We know for sure People always win Tear down the walls

Parasol 03:14
An Indian chief in a second line band. Took me ‘round the corner to the Gris Gris man. He reached down deep in his mojo bag, And the he gave me something I’d never had before… Chorus I was walking in the rain down in New Orleans. I saw the craziest thing I ever seen. A purple alligator with a pink parasol. That’s not all, no that’s not all. A voodoo queen she was dressed in green, She took me out dancing on the Dixieland scene. She said it’s gonna rain, but it won’t rain long. Then we started singing that funky soul song. I was walking in the rain down in New Orleans. I saw the craziest thing I ever seen. A purple alligator with a pink parasol. That’s not all, no that’s not all. A tuba playing man with a big brass band Came to me with a brand new plan. He said ‘Let’s drink in the streets all night long’ Dancing to the beat of that funky soul sound I was walking in the rain down in New Orleans. I saw the craziest thing I ever seen. A purple alligator with a pink parasol. That’s not all, no that’s not all I was tripping in the rain down in New Orleans. It was the craziest thing I ever been. A purple alligator with a pink parasol. That’s not all, no that’s not all

I want to get inside your head Believed in every word that you said All your words turn in to lies Sitting back, it’s no surprise I want to get inside your head I want to get inside your head I want to get inside your head Drunken phone calls Stuff you said Someone tell me something soon Someday I’ll be over you I want to get inside your head I want to get inside your head So waltz with me on Johnston Street at midnight It really doesn’t matter what the tune As headlights come and go, Spinning round so slow Waltz with me at midnight I want to get inside your head I want to get inside your head

Limbo 02:45
Seen some crime Done some time Trapped in a world I don’t understand Pull me near Full of fear I’d bend over backwards for you And the things that we do When the bar’s getting low Music gets louder The words start to flow And the things that we do When the bar’s getting low There’s too much tension The dance starts to slow Who do you know? How low can you go? Living your life in limbo

You were only little When you were made to go To that building on the hill With the old man in strange clothes He spoke about a man Who died for your sins Rose again in three days And then he disappeared So where is your God? Where has she gone? All you do is pray But you never belong Shout to the sky But nobody hears So many wasted Sundays… so many years As you grew older You’d question why you’d go To that building every Sunday With that old man in strange clothes Told to have faith All would be revealed How can you believe? How do you really feel? Ideas from books are thrown Ideologies passed around But no evidence or truth Can ever be found So where is your God? Where has she gone? All you do is pray But you never belong Shout to the sky But nobody hears So many wasted Sundays over so many years So where is your God? Where has she gone? All you do is pray But you never belong Shout to the sky But nobody hears So many wasted Sundays… so many years

about

We here at camp Resignator, deep in the bush lands in the hamlet of Korweinuboora a few kilometers from Daylesford, have been quiet of late, working long and hard on their latest recording, a 12 track album full of surprises.

Sure there's the ska licks and punk offerings that The Resignators are known for, but now The Resignators move to explore different elements of the genre, introducing a New Orleans feel, some South American rhythms and a vibe and feel that is sure to impress.

Featuring the first single, Party Dates, Party Dates the album, transitions from track to track in an uplifting way and culminates on a message.

This album is designed to be listened to in it's entirety, sure there will be tracks that you'll want to listen to over and over, but The Resignators have crafted and created an album to be consumed, savored and enjoyed from track one through to track 12.

With each listen you'll discover something new, a new sound, a new theme, something that will stick in your memory.

The Resignators, from Victoria, Australia, are a seven headed brash and boisterous ska punk monster, featuring blistering guitar, thumping bass, melodious keyboards, driving drums and a military like horn section, ready to attack, putting a bomb under the relatively easy, feel-good vibes that are often spun in the genre, with their punk-inflected ska. ... more
